Who is the solution for and why?
PI Planning is a crucial part of the agile process, but it can be difficult to coordinate PI Planning events for teams that are spread out geographically.

With the collaborative support offered by PI Planning Toolkit for strategic planning workshops both in-person and remotely, this PI Planning solution offers a virtual collaboration space and a consolidated view of all team and program boards. Teams can seamlessly move between views: their sprint planning boards and the boards of other teams, helping unlock the value of centralized visualizations of work.
Leverage real-time, data-driven capabilities for PI Planning. Connect disparate Agile planning and work tracking tools, such as Jira, in PI Planning Toolkit and synchronize data for better cross-team planning, collaboration, and transparency around risks and dependencies.
