During PI Planning, which artifact should the Product Manager use to effectively communicate the Vision?

The Solution Vision is the appropriate artifact for the Product Manager to use in effectively communicating the Vision during PI Planning. This document captures the overarching goals and intended outcomes of the solution being developed. It helps ensure that all members of the Agile Release Train (ART) have a shared understanding of what the solution aims to achieve and how it aligns with customer needs and business objectives.

The Solution Vision serves as a guiding star for teams, providing clarity on the vision and strategic direction of the solution. It enables teams to align their objectives and priorities with the broader goals of the organization, fostering collaboration and ensuring that everyone is moving in the same direction.

In contrast, while the Product Roadmap provides a timeline of features and deliverables, it does not encapsulate the broader strategic vision needed for PI Planning. The Program Kanban Board focuses on managing the flow of work rather than communicating a vision. The Business Model Canvas outlines the value proposition and business model aspects but is less focused specifically on the vision of the solution being developed. Thus, the Solution Vision stands out as the most effective way to communicate the Vision during PI Planning.
