3.2 Create and review draft PI plans

Notes:

Story Points

As a Scrum Master, remind the team that when estimating stories to consider that a
story point is a singular number that represent:

► Volume: how much is there?
► Complexity: how hard is it?
► Knowledge: what do we know?
► Uncertainty: what's not known?

Compared with other Stories an 8-point Story should take relatively 4 times longer
than a 2-point Story.

PI Objectives:

Objectives are business summaries of what each team intends to deliver in the upcoming
PI. They often map directly to the Features in the backlog, but not always.

Uncommitted Objectives:

Uncommitted Objectives are used to identify work that can be variable within the scope
of a PI. Stretch objectives are not the way for stakeholders to load the teams with more
work than they can do. It’s not extra stuff to do, just in case time permits.
