What helps visualize the work during PI Planning?

The ART Planning Board is specifically designed to facilitate visualization of work during PI (Program Increment) Planning within the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) methodology. This board provides a comprehensive view of the planned work, including features and stories, associated teams, and their commitments for the upcoming increment period.

During PI Planning, teams gather to discuss and coordinate their work, and the ART Planning Board plays a crucial role in this process. It allows all members—such as Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and other stakeholders—to see how different teams are aligned, what features they are working on, and how these align with the artistic roadmap. This visual representation enhances communication and helps to identify dependencies and potential risks early, ensuring a more cohesive planning process.

Other boards, like the Team Kanban Board or Iteration Board, serve specific teams or iterations rather than the broader program increment level. The Portfolio Board typically focuses on high-level strategic initiatives and does not provide the detailed, tactical overview required during the collaborative planning at the ART level. Thus, the ART Planning Board is the correct choice for visualizing work during PI Planning.
