Starting at the top, here we have the SAFe Portfolio level board, which is used mainly to visualize the status of key portfolio initiatives and projects. Note how this board combines a bird\u2019s-eye view of lanes that hold Client Initiatives, Sales &amp; Marketing work, as well as IT projects. This board not only bridges the gaps in alignment that often exist at this high level across an organization\u2019s value stream, but also provides a central place for work status to be visualised, even when the underlying business processes are very different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SAFE_VALUE_STREAM\"><\/span>SAFE VALUE STREAM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11713\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_ValueStream.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_ValueStream.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_ValueStream-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_ValueStream-768x270.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_ValueStream-750x263.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<p>This board is number two in our 4-board SAFe board hierarchy, and one level down from the portfolio board (above). At this level, the Value Stream Kanban board is used to track the epics, enablers and capabilities associated with the value stream, through a defined process which revolves around maintaining a backlog, doing analysis, and going into implementation and possible delivery. This board is great for value-based prioritisation activities. Also worth noting is that cards on this board are almost always associated with parent cards higher up in the board hierarchy (typically the SAFe Portfolio), as well as being broken out into child cards representing the work taking place lower in the SAFe hierarchy (typically the ART).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SAFE_SINGLE_AGILE_RELEASE_TRAIN_ART\"><\/span>SAFE SINGLE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN (ART)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11714\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_SingleART.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_SingleART.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_SingleART-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_SingleART-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_SingleART-750x404.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<p>Board #3 in our SAFe hierarchy, here we have a single agile release train (ART) example. Boards like these are used to coordinate the efforts of multiple teams against the prioritised features and enablers assigned to them. This board ensures everyone is working towards the same milestone, because team members are able to visualize the dependencies between their work and the inputs\/outputs from other teams simultaneously. This enables the synchronization of deliverables in a collaborative and transparent way. In addition, multiple iterations for the current Program Increment (PI) are being tracked, and teams have the flexibility of using different processes in tandem, without getting out-of-sync with each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MULTIPLE_AGILE_RELEASE_TRAIN_ART_BOARD\"><\/span>MULTIPLE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN (ART) BOARD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11715\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_MultiART.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_MultiART.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_MultiART-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_MultiART-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/SAFe_MultiART-750x312.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<p>The final board in our SAFe coverage is an alternative to the single ART example (above). Here, we have multiple teams or business units, coordinating their work as they collectively take responsibility for reaching the key Program Increment (PI) integration milestone. Examples of the kind of work being managed here includes Defects, Stories and Test Cases. As always, teams have the flexibility to define their own Sprint\/iteration process, while co-existing peacefully alongside other teams who work using a different approach, whilst retaining overall sight of the end goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IN_CONCLUSION\"><\/span>IN CONCLUSION<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s-content\">\n<p>Engineering and manufacturing organizations are getting value from adopting Kanban visualization because it simplifies the coordination of work across teams and drastically improves the alignment of goals between business units. While intuitive to use on the front-end and flexible enough to adapt to any knowledge work process, Planview AgilePlace is still taking care of the hard metrics in the background. This enables engineering organizations to track key performance metrics with precision, such as cycle times, burn down, and work distribution. These are not just leading indicators of performance, but they also help identify opportunities for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Planview AgilePlace offers pre-built Kanban board templates for SAFe 4.0, making it easy for teams to jump in and get started immediately. We hope the above examples stimulate some creative ideas to advance your pursuit of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many engineering and manufacturing companies choose Planview AgilePlace to help them to gain visibility into and manage their work.
