#15: Demystifying Agile: Visualizing Your Year with Scrum Calendars

Planning Your Agile Year at a Glance

Agile methodologies are powerful, but planning at scale can be challenging. Visualizing your Program Increments (PIs) and sprints is key to keeping your teams aligned and your stakeholders informed. Our Scrum Calendars offer two powerful ways to do this.

For Teams on a Standard Cadence: The Quarterly PI Calendar

If your organization follows a standard quarterly planning cycle, the Quarterly PI Calendar is your best friend. It automatically lays out a 12-week Program Increment aligned with the calendar quarter, neatly divided into six 2-week sprints. It's a zero-config way to see your quarter at a glance.

For Teams with Custom Needs: The Configurable PI Calendar

Agile is all about adapting. The Configurable PI Calendar gives you the flexibility to define your own structure.

- PIs Per Year: Does your organization run 4 PIs a year, or 5? You decide.

- Sprints Per PI: Define how many sprints are in each PI.

This tool is perfect for teams that don't follow a traditional quarterly model, allowing you to create a calendar that perfectly matches your organization's unique rhythm.

Whether you're following SAFe by the book or have your own flavor of Agile, our calendars provide the visual clarity you need to plan effectively.
