❔ What Swift PIP Does and Doesn’t Do

Swift PIP is a application designed to streamline SAFe PI Planning process for teams using Jira. This guide clarifies what Swift PIP offers and its limitations to set clear expectations.

What Swift PIP does

  • Team Planning (Team Breakout Board) : centralized “team breakout view” to mimic the clarity of paper boards for Teams during PI Planning.
  • ART Board : centralized “ART Board” like describe in SAFe.
  • Visualizes Dependencies: automatically identifies and displays dependencies between teams PI Planning.

What Swift PIP doesn’t do

  • Replace Jira’s Core Features : it doesn’t replace Jira functionalities like backlog grooming, sprint planning, or general task management. It enhances, not substitutes.
  • Support Non-SAFe Processes: while it can be adapted to some contexts, Swift PIP is primarily designed for PI Planning as desribed by SAFe.
  • Handle Portfolio Management
    Swift PIP focuses on PI Planning and team coordination, not long-term strategic planning (e.g., Jira Align’s functionality).
  • Integrate with Non-Jira Tools
    Swift PIP is specifically built for Jira Cloud and doesn’t natively support other tools or platforms, even Jira datacenter.
