# Plan work items

Teams plan their stories during the breakout session of the PI Planning meeting. The planning of stories can be done in the project backlog of the team, or directly on the program board.

### Plan a work item on the Program Board

To plan a work item, simply drag it to a sprint.

{% hint style="info" %}
The stories that are visible on the board depend on the epics (features) added to the PI. It also depends on the team, program and period (program increment) scope configuration settings.
