Creating Program Board

Setting up a Program Board in Savah is a simple, guided process designed to help you organize your Program Increment (PI) within an existing workspace. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Access the Workspace

Workspaces are the logical place to create and organise your PI Planing board at one place.

• Go to the Workspace where you want to create the Program Board.

• Click the “New Program Board” button to begin.

Step 2: Define the Program Increment

• Enter the Program Name.

• Set the PI Start Date.

• Specify the Number of Sprints to be included in this PI.

• Define the Duration of Each Sprint (e.g., 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc.).

• Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Customize Terminology

Savah allows you to tailor naming conventions to match your organization’s language.

• For example, rename "Epic" to "Feature" or "Capability".

• Change "Team" to "Squad", "Stream", or any preferred label.

Click Next once your custom terms are set.

Step 4: Select Teams for the Program Board

Choose the teams that will participate in this Program Increment.

• By default, all teams associated with the workspace are selected.

• You can deselect or modify the selection based on your needs.

• You can also create a new Team using the '+ Add Team' link.

Click Next to proceed.

Step 5: Configure Sprints

Savah auto-generates the sprints based on the information provided in Step 2.

• The first sprint will start on the defined PI Start Date.

• Review each sprint’s start and end dates, and rename them if necessary.

Once everything looks good, click Create.
