As someone who just finished a week of 8 hour PI planning meetings with another week of the same starting Monday, I wholeheartedly agree. My experience of SAFe has been shorter term waterfall with a couple steps cut out. It's definitely better than waterfall and I'm grateful for that, but I wouldn't call it agile.

- tootie 4y agoSAFe almost feels like a ploy lead by waterfallistas to sneak their agenda back into the mainstream and call it "agile" to fool everyone. It's a shame because there is room for a toolkit to help scale agile. There aren't great tools for managing dependencies between agile teams.
- brightball 4y agoA week? It’s supposed to 2 days. 2.5 if you are partially time shifted.
- throwaway93494 4y agoI mentioned this in another reply, but it bears repeating. Our current PI planning is 2 weeks not counting the half day before in Pre-Planning for PI Planning. I sincerely wish that was a joke. It's a 4 hour team wide meeting to review all work items are ready to be planned during PI planning, as well for us to identify dependencies and schedule meetings with those dependencies. There isn't enough time to to that during the actual planning.
