I realize that this is a Scrum forum and that there are many mixed feelings about SAFe in the Agile community. My team is a vendor on a government contract, and we are required to adhere to the agency's SAFe practices. The implementation of these practices have been over the course of years, and is still underway.

We are about to go into our first IP Sprint, does anyone have experience conducting IP Sprints within a Government contract?

What were your takeaways in regards to user stories and velocity for the IP Sprints?
