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:
|
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) |

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