What is included in the Inspect and Adapt agenda?

 The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) event in SAFe is a significant event held at the end of each Program Increment (PI), where the current state of the Solution is demonstrated and evaluated. The I&A event consists of three parts1:

PI System Demo: This is the first part of the I&A and is different from the regular system demos after every iteration. It shows all the Features the Agile Release Train (ART) has developed during the PI.

Quantitative and qualitative measurement: This involves the evaluation of the current state of the Solution with both quantitative metrics and qualitative assessments.

Retrospective and problem-solving workshop: This is where teams reflect on their performance and identify improvement backlog items via a structured problem-solving workshop.

Program backlog refinement is not explicitly mentioned as part of the I&A event agenda. However, the result of the I&A is a set of improvement backlog items that go into the ART Backlog for the next PI Planning event1.
