Explanation

PI Planning is a face-to-face event that brings everyone in the Agile Release Train (ART) together - all teams, Product Management, System Architects, Business Owners, and other stakeholders - over a two-day period to align on a common mission and plan the next Program Increment, making C correct.

• A is wrong because PI Planning is explicitly not limited to qualified estimators - broad participation across all roles is a core principle, ensuring shared understanding and commitment.
• B is wrong because Portfolio Management does not prioritize Stories during PI Planning; that level operates on Epics and strategic themes, not team-level Stories.
• D is wrong because there is no split where Product Management/POs attend Day 1 alone - all participants are present throughout both days, though the agenda does have structured phases.

Memory tip: Think of PI Planning as the ART's "all-hands kickoff" - the word everyone in option C mirrors SAFe's emphasis on full-team alignment and collective ownership over the planning horizon.
