Teams on the new public works work-order ART are sent into the first PI Planning with no SAFe role or event training. What create-ART preparation should the RTE require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Throwing public-works teams into PI Planning with no training is like handing out survey gear with no map. Teach the roles and the event first—then the room can plan work orders instead of guessing the ceremony. Cold-start PI Planning mostly produces confusion with sticky notes.
Full Explanation
ART launch steps include training teams and key roles before the first PI Planning. When teams on the new public works work-order ART are sent into the first PI Planning with no SAFe role or event training, the RTE should require training before launching cold. Without a shared language for PI Objectives, dependencies, and ROAM, the event cannot do its job and mostly produces confusion with sticky notes. Launching PI Planning immediately so training does not delay the calendar prioritizes a date over readiness and burns political capital on a failed first impression. Training only executives and letting teams learn PI Planning by observing silently excludes the people who must draft plans and raise dependencies. Substituting a vendor tool demo for role training and starting planning the same day confuses tooling with role and event competence. Exam caveat: training can be focused and just-in-time for the first PI, but it remains a create-ART prerequisite rather than an optional later course. Operational check: schedule role-and-event training for work-order teams and key roles, verify they can explain PI Objectives and dependency management, then run the first PI Planning as a planning event rather than an orientation.
