SAFe® ROAM Board

During PI planning, teams identify program risks and impediments that could impact their ability to meet their objectives. These need to be discussed and addressed with honesty and transparency and then categorized into on the following categories: Resolved – The teams agree that the risk is no longer a concern. Owned – Someone on the train takes ownership of the risk since it cannot be resolved during PI planning. Accepted – Some risks are just facts or potential problems that must be understood and accepted. Mitigated – Teams identify a plan to reduce the impact of the risk. Instructions: 1. During PI Planning, teams add risks to the Program Risks area. Note that a risk may be added, and then removed, during PI Planning if the team identifies a mitigation strategy during planning. 2. Following the Final Plan Review, all Program Risks are ROAMed. Additional information about the risk should be added to the item description. 3. During PI Execution and System Demos, the ROAM Board is periodically reviewed and risks are adjusted during the PO Sync. More details: https://www.scaledagileframework.com/pi-planning/
