EAP Planning Intervals and Sprints

Howdy!

I find the planning calendars section of EAP to be extremely confusing.  I can't wrap my head around how the hierarchy works.  From what I can tell I have to"
- Create a planning interval calendar
- Create a sprint calendar
- Load sprints into the PI Calendar

I'm confused on a couple of parts.  We are running three weeks sprints in a full SAFe Config.  When I create a PI, why can I not just create sprints inside of it?

Also, when I create a second PI it doesn't seem to fall in the hierarchy where it should.  

I'm building a mockup in my PDI.  

My question is, does anyone have any documentation or videos that show how to build a PI calendar and Sprint Calendar from scratch with proper hierarchy?

Hi WJI,

 

I was looking to learn more about EAP Calendars and I came across your post.  I found the following documentation that helped me to understand these calendars better.  It does mention the Parent to Child relationship between Planning Intervals and Sprints.  Maybe it will be helpful to you too.
