Step 1 General on the eleven step wizard for preparing a new PI session

Providing General Information

When Preparing a new PI session we start on the #1 General tab. Here, you can set the following fields:

Field

Description

Give your upcoming PI session a name

It is important to choose a name that Users will recognize as the name appears in the PI Session selector (i.e. Select a PI Session modal)

PI Planning Event Dates

Set the From (Start) and To (End) dates of the actual PI Planning Event itself. These are the 1 or 2 days that the Teams will actually be planning.

Note: These date are NOT the dates of the total Planning Increment (PI) timebox which is the start date of the first Iteration to the end date of the last Iteration.

IMPORTANT: The PI Planning Event Dates dictate:

  • The default PI Session a User will automatically join during the login flow

  • The In Planning and In Execution modes (badges) that appear in the GUI.

Number of Iterations

Using the Principle of Cadence and Synchronization, the Number of Iterations refers to the number of Iterations/Sprints in the PI timebox.

For example: 5x Iterations included in the PI; 4x standard Iterations and the recommended IP Iteration (4+1) = 5.

Minimum = 2

Maximum = 12

Duration of one Iteration in [calendar] days

Example: 14 days for a standard 2x week Sprint. This value represents calendar days.

Select ALM Tool

After selecting the ALM Connection the system will validate the connection in realtime. If any errors occur you need to validate the ALM Connection.

Confirm the deletion of stickies

Check this checkbox if you wish Users to be prompted to confirm the deletion of Sticky Notes (Recommended)

When you've set the fields, Click Next

NOTE

Based on the amount of days per Iteration, the Iteration Start and End Dates on step #11 Iterations, will be automatically populated (cascaded).
