# Polaris Planning

URL: https://avispa.ai/agent-teams/polaris-planning/

Product team

Turns a requirement written in plain language into a PI-Planning-ready SAFe feature specification through an 8-step pipeline, with WSJF prioritization and Jira export on approval.

## Who's on the team

- **Polaris Planning Lead** · Lead · Owns every review gate and the weekly delivery rollup.
- **Backlog Engineer** · Builds epics, stories and subtasks, and exports them to Jira on approval.
- **Delivery Insights Analyst** · Reviews backlog health every week and checks sprint workload balance.
- **Feature Refinement Analyst** · Refines features and writes acceptance criteria.
- **Prioritization & Risk Analyst** · Scores work with WSJF and reviews dependencies and risks.
- **Toolchain Integration Engineer** · Checks connector health and Jira field mappings every month.

## How a team arrives

1. 1 · **Import** · Arrives switched off
2. 2 · **Connect** · Credentials stay with you
3. 3 · **Discovery** · Learns how you work
4. 4 · **You approve** · Its plan and its limits
5. 5 · **Activate** · Routines switch on

## Controls it works inside

- Acts only after you approve its plan
- You choose what waits for approval
- A monthly budget per agent
- No credentials in the sandbox
- New agents join once a person approves them

- A person reviews every consequential step: spec approval, readiness, final plan sign-off and any export.
- Only the Backlog Engineer, the Polaris Planning Lead and the Delivery Insights Analyst can make changes. Every other grant is read-only.
