The Ultimate Scrum Master Guide For PI Planning

The purpose of this book is to coach new or transitioning Scrum Masters on how to
be impactful during PI Planning in any organization. There are undoubtedly numerous
existing Agile and Scrum-related books covering the basic practicality, but none
provide enough direction and insight for succeeding in the role. As a result, I have
written this book in order to help close this gap for new and transitioning Scrum
Masters embarking on this journey, while using guidance from the Scale Agile
Framework Inc.

Bringing many cross-functional teams together in the same room can be intimidating,
especially when an organization is still early in their Agile Transformation Journey.
This comprehensive guide is for anyone doing PI Planning for the first time or who
wants to improve the processes in their organization. This step-by-step Ultimate
Guide is so extensive that you may find some aspects of the manual are more relevant
to your needs than others. The guide addresses the most frequently asked questions
about PI Planning, so you can feel comfortable participating in events and utilizing the
language.
Four Key Events in this book include:
• Pre-PI Planning
• During PI Planning
• Post PI Planning
• Mid-Quarter Review
