Community-college enrollment coaches want AI to pre-write PI Planning team-breakout notes so the team can skip talking. What should the SM/TC advise?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A draft seating chart is fine; locking the gym doors before the team talks is not. AI can help enrollment coaches prep PI Planning, but the breakout is where the team owns capacity, dependencies, and objectives. Skip the talk and you skipped planning.
Full Explanation
Role-specific AI may support PI Planning preparation — draft agendas, cluster last PI's risks, sketch candidate stories — without replacing the team breakout. SAFe planning still requires the people doing the work to converse, identify dependencies, and commit to Team PI Objectives. Canceling the breakout, forwarding notes so the RTE can plan for them, or letting the PO rubber-stamp model output all substitute an artifact for team dialogue.
