What is PI Planning Capacity Calculator?
The PI Planning Capacity Calculator is a specialized tool designed to streamline the process of capacity planning during Program Increment (PI) planning sessions. In the context of Agile frameworks, particularly SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), PI planning is a critical event where teams align on objectives and allocate resources for the upcoming increment. This calculator helps teams accurately estimate their capacity by considering factors such as team availability, velocity, and dependencies. By providing a structured approach to capacity planning, it ensures that teams can commit to realistic goals, reducing the risk of overcommitment or underutilization. For example, during a PI planning session for a software development project, the calculator can help determine how many features can be realistically delivered based on the team's historical performance and current availability.

Who is this PI Planning Capacity Calculator Template for?
This PI Planning Capacity Calculator template is ideal for Agile teams, Release Train Engineers (RTEs), Scrum Masters, and Product Owners involved in SAFe PI planning sessions. It is particularly useful for organizations that operate in a scaled Agile environment where multiple teams need to coordinate their efforts. For instance, a Release Train Engineer overseeing a train of 10 teams can use this calculator to ensure that each team has a clear understanding of their capacity and can align their commitments accordingly. Similarly, Product Owners can leverage this tool to prioritize features based on the available capacity, ensuring that the most critical objectives are addressed first.

Why use this PI Planning Capacity Calculator?
The PI Planning Capacity Calculator addresses several pain points specific to PI planning sessions. One common challenge is accurately estimating team capacity, especially when dealing with factors like holidays, part-time team members, or cross-team dependencies. This calculator simplifies the process by providing a clear framework for inputting these variables and generating accurate capacity estimates. Another issue is ensuring alignment across multiple teams; the calculator facilitates this by offering a standardized approach to capacity planning, making it easier to identify and resolve discrepancies. For example, if one team overestimates their capacity, it could lead to unrealistic commitments that impact the entire train. By using this calculator, teams can avoid such pitfalls and ensure a more effective and collaborative PI planning process.
