SAFe® PI Planning
„How do you know
people aren’t slacking
off?“
“That could
never work
with our
system.”
“In theory it sounds good,
but remote people can’t
come to meetings and
they never have all the
information.”
“Yeah, we tried
that, but it
didn’t really
work and the
remote people
ended up
getting fired.”
