Integrated PI Planning
Save time by pulling data through a robust two-way integration to import information from Jira using the Planner app. Say goodbye to switching between tools, and enable teams to focus on what matters. With Miro, teams can save 7 hours per planning session.
Reduce friction
Easily show connections between tasks and filter dependencies with the Dependencies app, without creating a mess on your board. Increase visibility during your planning exercises, making sure everyone is on the same page.
Bring everyone together
Connect teams with focused discussions, and run more inclusive PI Planning sessions with voting, breakouts, and more. Don’t forget to streamline processes with retrospectives and ensure everyone has a say with Private mode.
Communicate faster
Quickly make sense of information and initiatives with clustering sticky notes — and add connection lines to visualize all dependencies. Tag teammates when needed, request instant feedback and run estimations directly on the board with Estimations apps.
Improve productivity
Plan and track your team’s progress and projects all on the same board. Assign tasks, add timelines and run retrospectives in one central hub. Save time turning stickies into Jira or Azure DevOps cards, and run your PI Planning event without context-switching.

PI Planning FAQs
Why do PI Planning?
Product teams run a PI Planning session to set goals, identify tasks and dependencies, track progress, and determine the product and business view and direction. Miro’s visual collaborative platform helps product managers to run their PI Planning sessions more efficiently, building on the PI Planning board with everything the team needs: agenda, program, ROAM board, and a team board. That way, Agile teams are able by the end of the PI Planning event to draft a plan and move into execution seamlessly.
When is a PI planning held?
PI planning, or Program Increment planning, is typically held at the beginning of each Program Increment (PI) in the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) methodology. The frequency of PI planning sessions varies depending on the organization, but they usually take place every 8-12 weeks. During the PI planning session, the Agile teams come together to align their goals, review and prioritize the features and user stories for the upcoming PI, and establish a shared plan for the next increment.
What happens in a PI planning session?
A PI planning session is a meeting that teams use to plan out their work for the upcoming Program Increment (PI). During the session, teams will discuss their goals, objectives, and tasks for the PI, and create a plan to help them achieve their goals.
