The RTE for a social-services eligibility ART opens PI Planning with a two-hour recap of last PI's burn-downs, ticket counts, and missed stories, and draft plans for the next increment never start. What should the RTE do?

Short Explanation
PI Planning is a map session for the next stretch of road, not a recap of last month's mileage. Last PI already had its reviews. Get the eligibility teams pointing at the next increment.
Full Explanation
In SAFe, PI Planning exists to align the ART on the upcoming Program Increment—vision, features, team plans, dependencies, risks, and PI Objectives. Recapping last-PI status belongs in Inspect and Adapt, System Demo, or execution syncs, not as a substitute for planning. An RTE who converts the event into a status meeting starves the ART of the timeboxed collaboration that produces a committed plan. Redirecting the agenda protects that purpose while still honoring the need to review past results in the right forum.
