Use Case: Enabling Digital PI Planning

Initiation:

• Team identifies the need for digital PI planning to streamline Program Increment (PI) planning process.

• Stakeholders recognize the complexity of cross-team dependencies and the need for a tool to visualize and manage them effectively.

Implementation:

• Integration of Dependency Mapper for Jira into the existing Jira instance.

• Configuration of the plugin to capture and display cross-team dependencies on digital PI planning boards.

• Training sessions conducted to familiarize teams with the new tool and its capabilities.

Execution:

• Teams create digital PI planning boards within Jira, incorporating backlog items, user stories, and features.

• Dependency Mapper highlights and visualizes dependencies between various backlog items across teams.

• Teams collaborate to resolve dependencies and ensure alignment during PI planning sessions.

Outcome:

• Digital PI planning becomes more efficient and transparent.

• Teams gain insights into cross-team dependencies, facilitating better coordination and alignment.

• PI planning outcomes are more accurate and achievable due to enhanced visibility into dependencies.
