How to Use the Quarterly PI Calendar

This tool is optimized for Agile teams following a standard quarterly cadence. To use it, simply open the page—the tool automatically calculates the 12-week Program Increment (PI) for the current quarter. You can navigate between quarters using the arrow buttons. The calendar visually outlines the six 2-week sprints that make up the PI, and a detailed table at the bottom lists every sprint's specific start and end dates. You can also download this schedule as a CSV for your team's documentation.

This Quarterly PI Planning Calendar is a specialized tool designed for Agile teams and organizations that structure their work around calendar quarters. It provides a clear visual representation of a standard 12-week PI, which is automatically divided into six sprints. This tool is ideal for organizations following frameworks like SAFe.
