Beyond PI Planning
How do we minimize the need for large quarterly planning events? With a well-designed upstream Discovery Kanban, PI Planning becomes largely redundant. In such systems, the ART Backlog already represents validated intent, economic prioritization, and technical readiness for implementation, enabling teams to pull work continuously rather than commit to speculative plans made weeks in advance.
