What is the 'Inspect and Adapt (I&A)' event in SAFe?
Answer: A PI-ending event where the ART demonstrates, measures results, and improves its processes
The I&A is the ART's primary improvement event, combining a System Demo, PI metrics review, and a structured problem-solving workshop to drive continuous improvement.
During the I&A workshop, what is the 'Problem Solving Workshop' designed to do?
Answer: Identify root causes of significant impediments and define improvement stories for the next PI
The Problem Solving Workshop uses root cause analysis (fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys) to identify systemic issues and creates improvement stories for the next PI backlog.
What metrics are typically reviewed in the PI System Demo portion of the I&A?
Answer: PI Predictability (planned vs. actual business value), Feature and Story completion rates
The I&A reviews PI Predictability (business value planned vs. achieved), Feature completion rates, and other ART-level metrics to identify improvement areas.
What is the purpose of 'Pre-PI Planning' in a Solution Train?
Answer: Alignment of multiple ARTs on solution vision, architecture, and top capabilities before each ART's PI Planning
Pre-PI Planning aligns multiple ARTs in a Solution Train on shared vision and top Capabilities before each ART begins their own PI Planning.
What is 'Post-PI Planning' in a Solution Train?
Answer: A cross-ART sync to integrate plans, surface inter-ART dependencies, and finalize the Solution PI Plan
Post-PI Planning combines outputs from multiple ARTs, identifies inter-ART dependencies, and creates a consolidated Solution PI Plan for the Solution Train.
In SAFe, what is a 'Release on Demand' practice in the context of PI events?
Answer: Deploying to production continuously and releasing features to customers when business value is maximized
Release on Demand decouples deployment from release, allowing teams to deploy continuously while business decides when to activate features for customers.
