Card Types on the Program Board

Savah allows you to visually differentiate Epics and Stories on the Program Board using Card Types. This feature helps highlight specific items as discussion points during PI Planning, making it easier for teams to spot blockers, goals, or special items at a glance.

Using Card Types

While creating or editing an Epic or Story on the Program Board, you have the option to assign a Card Type. This helps you categorize and visually emphasize the card for better clarity during planning discussions.

Savah provides a set of default card types, including:

  • Impediment – to flag blockers or issues.

  • Enabler – for technical tasks or supporting work.

  • Goal – to highlight team or business goals.


Customizing Card Types

Savah gives Super Admins the ability to manage card types from the administration settings. This allows your organization to customize the types that best fit your planning process.

To manage or create card types:

  1. Go to the Administration Settings (Super Admin access required).

  2. Click on Card Types in the side menu.

  3. You’ll see a list of existing card types with their names and colors.

  4. You can:

    • Edit an existing card type (name, color).

    • Delete card types no longer needed.

    • Create a new card type by providing a name and selecting a color.


Custom card types are immediately available for use across all Program Boards, making it easy to maintain consistency and visual clarity across teams and planning sessions.
