    Role required: admin

    About this task

    This task is explained using Planning Interval (PI) and Sprint as an example. These are the calendars available by default in the workspace and PI is set as the parent for Sprint.

    By the end of this task, you define the timeline for a PI and its child Sprints. The EAP teams can then create their own team-specific PIs and Sprints, within this defined timeline, in a naming convention of their choice.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Strategic Planning Workspace.
    2. From the Settings menu, select Enterprise Agile Planning > Planning calendars.
    3. Select Planning Interval to create entries for it.
    4. Select New calendar entry.
    5. On the form, fill in the name of the entry, and the start and end dates for the planning interval.
      For example, you’re creating a PI for 01 January 2024 to 31 March 2024.
    6. Create calendar entries for the Sprint calendar based on the PI start and end dates.
      1. Select Create child entries on Sprint.
      2. In the Number of child entries (Sprint) field, enter the number of sprints you want to create for this PI.
      3. In the Sprint length (days) field, enter the number of days your Sprint is made of.
      For the PI that spans from 01 January 2024 to 31 March 2024, you can create 6 Sprints with a length of 14 days each.

    Result

    A PI and its child sprints are created with the timelines that you defined. The EAP teams can create their own PI and Sprint iterations with their own naming convention.

    Example

    PI 1 is created for 2024-01-01 to 2024-03-31. Within this PI, child six Sprints are created, each with a length of 14 days.

    Under the Digital Banking portfolio, the teams create their own ARTs and Sprints as follows:
    • Payment Analytics ART creates two PIs: Digi bank ST2 ART1 PI1 and Digi bank ST2 ART1 PI2.
    • The Agile Teams PAT Team 1 and PAT Team 2 create sprints within these PIs:
      • PAT Team 1 creates PAT 1 Sprint 1, PAT 1 Sprint 2, and so on.
      • PAT Team 2 creates PAT 2 Sprint 1, PAT 2 Sprint 2, and so on.

    The teams can use these PIs and Sprints to schedule their work.
