For Release Train Engineers, that means better visibility, less manual coordination, and smoother collaboration from PI Planning into execution.
Plan with clear ownership
ART-level work items such as Features can be assigned to an owning team.
This helps you:
make ownership visible early
reduce ambiguity during planning
improve accountability across the ART
Show the same work on multiple boards
The same Feature can be visualized on multiple boards, such as:
the ART Backlog Board
the ART Planning Board
a Team Board
This helps teams and ART leadership work from the same planning object in different contexts.
For your teams that means:
better visibility across boards
less fragmentation
easier coordination during planning
Keep changes in sync
When you change the iteration of a work item on one board, that change is reflected on the other boards as well.
This helps you:
avoid double maintenance
reduce inconsistencies
adjust plans faster during live planning
Connect planning to delivery
When teams plan team-level work items in piplanning.io, user stories are automatically synced to their ALM tool, such as Jira. This also includes links.
The result:
teams can plan visually and stay connected to execution
less manual rework
a smoother handoff from planning to delivery
Link work across levels
Links can be created by:
drag and drop
using the link action in the action bar
This makes it easier to:
connect related work
show how team-level work supports ART-level outcomes
improve coordination across teams
You can also link work items to your PI Objectives so you can later on track progress on objectives.
Stay visible during execution
You can also follow a Feature on the ART Planning Board in Execution Mode.
With the Breakdown view, you can see which teams are involved in completing that Feature.
For RTEs, this means:
better transparency during execution
earlier visibility into cross-team coordination
stronger follow-through after PI Planning
Why this matters
When planning is connected across Team and ART level, you get:
one consistent and aligned plan
better visibility across teams and ARTs
smoother collaboration
less manual coordination
clearer traceability from planning into execution
