The first day of the Program Increment (PI) Planning event covers several critical topics that align the Agile Release Train (ART) to a shared mission and vision. The key topics covered include:
* Business Context: This provides the teams with an understanding of the market, the customer needs, and the business objectives that are driving the ART1.
* Product/Solution Vision: The vision is presented to inspire and provide a big-picture view of the product or solution to be developed, setting the stage for the planning activities1.
* Architecture Vision and Development Practices: This includes the presentation of the architectural vision and the development practices that will guide the teams during the PI. It ensures that everyone understands the technical direction and the development guidelines1.
These topics are essential for establishing a clear direction and alignment among all team members and stakeholders. They help in building the social network the ART depends upon and aligning development to business goals. The RTE facilitates this event, which includes all members of the ART and occurs within the Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration1. The discussions on these topics enable the teams to create their Iteration plans and objectives for the upcoming PI effectively.
