Distributed Planning Insanity

We knew we wanted a logo that reflects why we exist, what values we stand for, what we believe in and where we want to go. At first we started from our vision.

Since its official launch in March, the PI Planning App has already been evaluated by several large organizations and used for their SAFe® PI Plannings. These are companies whose size means that they are no longer able to bring all their employees together in one big room for the PI Planning. Therefore they had to look for suitable tools that could help their employees communicate across distributed locations.

The begin of our journey with the piplanning app.

The main mistake made in distributed planning is that we think we could behave exactly the same as in face-to-face conversations.

Everyone who’s a fan of paper sticky notes, who works in a Scrum or Kanban team and at the same time uses some ALM tool, has already thought about the optimal solution how these two worlds could be combined. Am I right?

When it comes to determining whether digital or analog tools should be used in the collaborative part of agile team planning, we suddenly find ourselves in an argument.
