Richard Knaster – The Magic Of PI Planning And The Program Board
There’s no magic in SAFe, except maybe for PI planning. Program Increment (PI) planning in SAFe is inarguably one of the most important events in SAFe. In fact, if you are not doing it, you are not ‘doing’ SAFe®. In this video, Richard Knaster, SAFe Fellow and Author, shares his perspectives on PI planning.

Vikas Kapila – Is Portfolio Management changing as we know it?
The more resilient an enterprise, the better placed it is to cope with a variety of risks and challenges. But to become resilient, one needs to have faced setbacks & learned from them. And to remain resilient, it needs to stay aware of its own vulnerabilities and avoid complacency. In this video, Vikas Kapila shares tips and tools an Enterprise can use to stay aware of changing market conditions, identify its vulnerabilities and build a sense of danger to thrive in the emerging Digital Age.
