What is an Agile Release Train (ART)?

An Agile Release Train (ART) is a long-lived team of Agile teams, which - along with other stakeholders - develops and delivers solutions incrementally, using a series of fixed-length iterations within a Program Increment (PI) timebox. The Agile Release Train (ART) aligns teams to a common business and technology mission. Each Agile Release Train (ART) is a virtual organization of 50 to 125 people that plans, commits, and executes together. Agile Release Trains (ARTs) are organized around the enterprise's value streams and exist solely to realize the promise of that value by building solutions that deliver benefits to the end users.

What is a Program Increment (PI)?

A Program Increment (PI) is a timebox during which an Agile Release Train (ART) delivers incremental value in the form of working and tested software and systems. Program Increments (PIs) typically last for 8 to 12 weeks. The most common pattern for a Program Increment (PI) is 4 development iterations, followed by an Innovation and Planning (IP) iteration. A Program Increment (PI) is to an Agile Release Train (ART) what an iteration is to an Agile Team. It is a fixed timebox for building and validating a full system increment, demonstrating value, and getting fast feedback.
