During which PI Planning activity do Business Owners assign business value to PI Objectives?

Business Owners first assign a preliminary business value (1-10) to each team’s PI Objectives during the Draft Plan Review. This early valuation guides teams in the second breakout session, allowing them to refine scope and align with economic priorities before objectives are finalized.

A. Final plan review presents the updated plan but business value has already been assigned.
B. Team breakout sessions are internal to teams; Business Owners are not present to score value.
C. Management Review involves managers only; no assignment of business value occurs.
