The benefits of consistently well-planned and executed IP iterations include the following: IP iterations fulfill another critical role by providing an estimating buffer for meeting PI objectives and enhancing the predictability of PI performance. Time is also needed for Inspect & Adapt, PI Planning, and the final preparations for cadence-based ART events. IP iterations provide a regular, cadence-based opportunity for every PI for teams to work on activities such as innovation and learning that are difficult to fit into a continuous, incremental value delivery pattern. To address this, SAFe provides dedicated Innovation and Planning iterations. Given the constant urgency for delivery, there’s a risk that the tyranny of the urgent will override any opportunity to innovate. Of course, a focus on one thing-delivery-can lead to a lack of focus on another-innovation. The attention to solution delivery is intense and unrelenting. One iteration after another, the Solution advances in the market. Every Iteration counts and the teams are mostly ‘heads down,’ delivering near-term value. SAFe has an intense focus on continuous customer value delivery, and people are busy working on the Features they committed to during PI planning. It provides an estimating buffer for meeting PI Objectives and dedicated time for innovation, continuing education, PI Planning, and Inspect and Adapt (I&A) events. The Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration is a unique, dedicated iteration that occurs every PI. Don Reinertsen Innovation and Planning Iteration 100% utilization drives unpredictability.
