Formalizing PI Planning in Scaled Agile with Model-Driven Engineering: A Metamodel and Framework for Strategic Alignment

---

Résumé

Program Increment (PI) Planning is a critical synchronization event in scaled Agile methodologies, yet remains largely informal, with limited analytical rigor or strategic alignment. This paper introduces a formal metamodel and a model-driven framework to support structured PI Planning in large-scale software development. Our metamodel captures essential planning artifacts, including features, teams, iterations, risks, and dependencies, and is enriched with OCL constraints for validation and traceability. We extend the model to align planning with business value streams and introduce stakeholder-specific viewpoints for tailored analysis. Compared to tools like Jira or Mural, our approach provides formal semantics, automated reasoning, and extensibility. This work lays the foundation for a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for PI Planning, bridging the gap between Agile practice and formal modeling.
