Definition

Milestones are used as indicators to track progress toward a specific goal or event. There are three types of SAFe milestones:

  • Program Increment (PI):  They’re used to help objectively evaluate progress towards the technical/business hypothesis. Occur on PI cadence.
  • Fixed-date: Do not occur on cadence. Used for factors that rely on external events, third-party deliverables, and external constraints.
  • Learning milestones: They’re used to help validate business opportunities and hypothesis.

Definition

A learning loop is a feedback loop, that is focused on increasing learning. Generally is based on these steps: making an assumption (goal setting ), building something (carrying out activities), getting feedback on what was built, and then using it to inspect/ modify what was done, relative to what was assumed (or goal was set) in the first place..
