INVEST in effective SAFe PI Objectives
Could the INVEST criteria Bill Wake came up with for evaluating User Stories help us come up with effective PI Objectives in SAFe as well?
I think a good PI Objective should be:
– Independent – meaning ideally it could be delivered and evaluated on its own without any dependency on other PI Objectives. And if a team is able to own a PI Objective and delivery it on its own – it’s a sign that it’s a cross-functional autonomous team.

Iterating faster with SAFe
Here’s a frequently asked question in the SAFe community: I wanted to understand what SAFe says about someone who wants to go faster than 2 weeks of iteration? I mean the whole PI concept is based on 5 iterations worth of planning. What if a team/organization wants to develop and synchronize faster than 2 weeks? Is speed going to be compromised by following the standards of PI cadence?
Here’s my take:
Adjusting Cadence Length in SAFe – Can you? Should you?

Handling scope change during a SAFe Program Increment (PI)
How do we handle Scope Changes in a SAFe Program Increment?

How to Achieve Valuable Retrospectives
“Oh no, it’s the retrospective time!”
This cry for help is not uncommon, I’m afraid, among practitioners of Scrum. That is a shame. For me, this meeting is the climax of the scrum framework – this is the place where we get better. The discussions can get very deep and very meaningful. I would like to show here how to move from the statement appearing in the title of this paragraph to “Oh boy, it’s the retrospective time!”.
