Innovation & Planning Sprint in the context of SAFe

Innovation & Planning Sprint in SAFe

In SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), the Innovation & Planning Sprint is a dedicated time-boxed iteration within the Program Increment (PI) dedicated to fostering innovation, exploration, and planning activities.

During this sprint, teams focus on:

  1. Innovation: Encouraging creativity and experimentation to come up with new ideas, solutions, and technologies that can enhance the product or process.

  2. Exploration: Conducting research, discovery, and validation exercises to explore new markets, technologies, or customer needs.

  3. Planning: Developing detailed plans for upcoming PI objectives, refining features, and aligning dependencies across teams.

The goal of the Innovation & Planning Sprint is to enable teams to step back from their regular work, think strategically, and lay the groundwork for successful execution in the upcoming PI.
