Ensuring facility readiness for the Program Increment (PI) Planning event involves several logistical preparations. Two key ways to ensure this readiness include:

Secure communication channels for remote participants: Given the current times and the possibility of distributed teams, it’s crucial to have reliable and secure communication channels. This ensures that all participants, whether they are attending physically or remotely, can collaborate effectively during the PI Planning event1.

Engage audio-visual technical support: Having robust audio-visual support is essential, especially when the PI Planning event includes remote participants. This support helps in managing presentations, discussions, and breakout sessions, ensuring that all attendees can see, hear, and contribute to the planning process1.

These steps are part of the broader preparation activities facilitated by the Release Train Engineer (RTE) to ensure that the PI Planning event runs smoothly and that all teams on the Agile Release Train (ART) are aligned to a shared mission and vision2.
