Ability to create a SAFe Program Board to plan cross team dependencies

This would be a 'big win' for Aha with so many companies using SAFe Agile! The Program Board is key to visualizing the work across the Agile Release Train (ART). We have built versions of it in Miro and an Epic Kanban board in Jira, but it would be VERY NICE to have this in Aha! We do not want to have 3 tools to keep in synch by using Jira Align for the Program Board.

Hi - Any update on this. This would be really helpful for companies following Agile/ SAFE practices

Hello,

Is there any update on this - does AHA! plan to create a SAFe Program Board so we can map dependencies across teams in order to properly sequence work? Thanks

Hi there,

Just wanted to follow up on this idea. As covid is still around 2 years after the admin post on this idea, and teams are still not doing in-person SAFe PI Planning, can this be revisited? We are being forced to use tools outside of Aha for this functionality, which is causing Aha to not be the source of truth, and creates a disconnect between our teams. Thanks!

We're using SAFe and myself and a small product management team are using Aha for this. Since covid stopped in-person SAFe PI Planning, the organisation uses Mural or Miro to create and then maintain a program board using virtual stickies. We try to use Aha for product management work, but with the overhead of SAFe process, the engineering world in Jira, the PI Planning in Miro, we often end up with hybrid systems that depart from a single source of truth, including things like Excel sheets, because of varying ease of working in Aha for SAFe, and varying experience with Aha across the team. As a long time Aha user in several organisations, it's clear Aha can be used for SAFe (and I set this up for us even prior to the Aha tutorial on this, using Aha Initiatives as SAFe Epics in order to create an Epic kanban for the product team), but it is not necessarily simple and easy, especially when it comes to sharing SAFe artefacts from Aha with irregular Aha users (e.g. engineers) prior to the planning event itself. Aha needs quite a few things to make a simpler SAFe workflow, and simply training people is not the solution. Having said that though, a full SAFe program board is not so high on my list. Better canvas views of Initiatives is very high.

I need this too

This is a huge request from our teams. It would be incredibly helpful to have this available in Aha so we don't need to utilize another tool just to get one report. Aha's reporting is incredibly robust, but this is a need that all companies using SAFe will have to have.

SAFe is trending and get more and more followers, i really hope Aha will consider to prioritize this request.

This is a HUGE request from our teams, especially now that we are conducting PI Planning remotely due to COVID-19. When is this slated for release? Thank you!

This is a very much request view from our TPMs. Although you can view dependencies on the Gantt, a Program Board is a more consolidated & efficient view.  

Do you have an update on how to build the program board within Aha?
