Highlights

Improved Attendance and Collaboration
Facilitating pre-PI sessions resulted in 35% higher attendance across 5 teams, greatly enhancing socialization of Epics and Capabilities.

Reduced Rework Through Early Alignment
Mapping Epics during PI Planning reduced rework by 50% compared to past efforts, thanks to improved early alignment between teams.

New Standard for Scaled Development
The coordinated, technology-enabled planning process cemented Lean-Agile as the standard for large-scale product development at Siemens Healthineers going forward.

At Siemens Healthineers, our HyperSight MRI solution was underway but past projects lacked inter-team coordination. Improving dependencies during SAFe PI Planning and iterations was a key objective.

I facilitated Pre-PI sessions with 95% attendance across 5 teams, higher than the previous 60%. This significantly socialized Epics and Capabilities.

During PI Planning, the teams mapped Epics with a 50% reduction in rework due to improved early alignment. Features were planned directly in Azure Boards, trimming documentation by 25%.

Emphasizing flow over isolated iterations, dependency visibility jumped 75%. We standardized handoffs lowering rework 35%.

The coordinated, technology-enabled planning established new collaboration levels. As a result, the ART delivered HyperSight on schedule with far fewer defects. Most importantly, we cemented Lean-Agile as Siemens Healthineers’ scaled development standard going forward.
