Explanation
Vision and the Top-10 Features list are the two canonical inputs to PI Planning in SAFe because they give teams the why (strategic direction) and the what (prioritized work) needed to create meaningful iteration plans and PI Objectives.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- B. Ready user stories - Stories are an output of PI Planning (refined during team breakouts), not an input. PI Planning works at the feature level, not the story level.
- C. Program Roadmap - The roadmap provides broader context but is not one of the two defined inputs; the Vision distills that context into the actionable direction teams need.
- E. A set of PI Objectives - PI Objectives are a primary output of PI Planning, not an input. Teams draft them during the event.
Memory tip: Think "V+F = PI Planning fuel." You need the Vision (where we're going) and the Features (what we'll build to get there) before the planning event starts - everything else is produced during it.
