Give your item a meaningful name and select the type, status and the planned duration and start date (these information will be displayed in the Gantt Chart). You can also assign the item to a user or team (see Manage users and teams).
Now add a description and upload attachments, if you want. Once you’re done click the save button. You can change all the settings later.
To start a PI Planning go back to the PI Backlog and click on Create PI. You can now change the name of the PI and set the time frame. Define a goal for the PI, so everyone in your team can focus on it. Once you’re done click the save button and you should see the PI above the backlog. When your PI is complete, start it.
To stop a PI, go to PI Backlog and click Stop PI. All features that were not completed during this PI can be moved to the next PI, into the backlog, or closed.
