What is the output of an Inspect and Adapt event?

The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) event is a critical component in the SAFe framework, held at the end of

each Program Increment (PI). The main output of the I&A event is a set of improvement items that

are intended to be actioned in the next PI Planning event. This helps in ensuring continuous

improvement in the process and products.

PI System Demo: Demonstrates the current state of the solution and provides an opportunity for the

stakeholders to inspect the progress.

Quantitative Measurement: Teams review metrics that reflect the current state of the development

process.

Problem-Solving Workshop: Identifies root causes of the biggest problems and formulates

improvement items.

Improvement Backlog: The improvement items identified are prioritized and added to the team's

backlog for the next PI.

This cycle of continuous feedback and improvement helps in refining the development process and

enhancing the team's performance.
