Program Board & Dependencies

For organizations running SAFe at scale, AgileNotes rolls multiple teams up into an Agile Release Train (ART) and adds a Program Board and cross-team dependency tracking on top of everything you've seen so far.

These views light up once teams are grouped into an ART. The Demo teams aren’t part of an ART, so this section describes the features rather than showing Demo screenshots.

The Program Board

The Program Board is the classic PI-planning wall, rendered live from your data. It lays out each team as a row and each iteration of the PI as a column, so the whole train’s plan — features, milestones, and the dependencies between teams — is visible in one place. Selecting the ART in the team selector switches the app into this aggregate, train-wide view.

Milestones and significant events can be placed as cards on the board, and an Uncommitted lane holds work that isn’t yet slotted into an iteration.

Dependencies

The Dependencies view tracks cross-team dependencies as first-class items: who needs what, from whom, and by when. Overdue and at-risk dependencies surface in the AI signals and the Program Board, so a hand-off slipping on one team becomes visible to the teams depending on it — before it becomes a fire.

Roles

Scaled views are oriented around the RTE / Coach perspective — an aggregate, train-wide read — while individual teams keep working in their own team-scoped views exactly as described in the rest of this manual.
