SAFe PI Planning Simulation Workshop
Master Enterprise Agility with Real-world PI Planning Execution
The SAFe PI Planning Simulation Workshop by NextAgile is a practitioner-led, enterprise-focused learning experience that enables organizations to plan, align, and deliver effectively across Agile Release Trains (ARTs).
Through immersive simulations, participants experience every stage of a PI Planning event — from pre-PI preparation to execution and retrospection — ensuring readiness for large-scale Agile implementation.
Simulation-driven. Practitioner-led. Enterprise-aligned.
Trusted By Global Leaders
Program Overview
Program Increment (PI) Planning is one of the most critical synchronization events in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®). Successful execution of PI Planning ensures cross-team alignment, prioritization, and commitment to enterprise objectives.
This simulation-led workshop replicates a real-world PI Planning environment to help participants:
Understand the strategic purpose and
flow of PI Planning.
Experience team breakouts, dependency mapping, and confidence voting in a guided simulation.
Apply learning to manage coordination across multiple Agile teams effectively.
Delivered by experienced Agile consultants, the program combines interactive workshops, real-world simulations, and enterprise-focused advisory.
Enterprise Objectives
The program enables organizations to:
- Build capability to conduct and facilitate effective PI Planning events.
- Enhance alignment between business strategy and execution.
- Improve predictability, transparency, and coordination across ARTs.
- Drive a consistent cadence for planning, execution, and delivery.
Program Structure
Delivered through immersive simulations and context-driven facilitation, this workshop mirrors the real PI Planning experience in a controlled environment — helping participants internalize key concepts through active participation.
Program Features:
- Practitioner-led facilitation by experienced SAFe consultants
- Simulation-based learning of real PI Planning events
- Contextual use cases and practical scenarios
