Hi @Reddy,

@Sam Tsubotaprovided you with a list of great resources to start.

I recommend you review the following additional articles to prepare:

Start with Setting the Context for Virtual PI Planning
Then review Virtual/Remote PI Planning Best Practices and FAQ Table of Contents
To prepare your features - Feature - Team association in Jira Align
Then you can learn how about Building a Program Board during PI Planning
To prepare for Facilitating a PI Planning Team Breakout Virtually in Jira Align.
Wrap with Presenting PI Planning Draft and Final Plan Reviews Virtually.

Thank you @Sam Tsubota @Peter Jessen ,

Could you please help me understand the difference between Program board and Program kanban board? Can we use Program kanban board for PI planning?

Peter Jessen

Sure thing, @Reddy

The Program Kanban view of the Backlog helps Program Managers/RTEs work with Product Managers to plan the appropriate amount of work for an upcoming Program Increment in the form of features (and related stories with story points). It is a planning tool for planning the PI.

The Program Board is a planning tool for laying out when each feature will be delivered by one or more teams during the course of the upcoming Program Increment.

Once a PI starts, the Program Board is the plan for when work needs to be completed, as committed to by the teams.

Here's the Jira Align Program Board article and here is the Scaled Agile Framework article on PI Planning.

Peter
