Navigating Easy Agile Programs

Easy Agile Programs uses several pages to show different views of your plans.

Learn how to use different pages to see and track your plans for your Program, Increment, and teams.

Programs and Increments

One Program contains a series of Increments. Each Increment is a time-boxed period on the roadmap made of a set of sprints.

Hierarchy in Easy Agile Programs

Easy Agile Programs shows 2-3 levels of hierarchy:

• Team-level work (e.g. stories, tasks, bugs) in sprints

• Roadmap-level work (e.g. epics)

• (Optional) Third-level plans

Different levels are shown on different pages of the app.

Program list

Users with Manage Programs permission can see an index of all Programs on the Program list page.

Program roadmap

The Program roadmap page shows the high-level plans for your Program. All the Increments in the Program are shown on a timeline.

The page shows:

• Roadmap-level plans

• Milestones on the timeline

• Dependencies as lines between items

Program board

The Program board page shows a holistic view of all the plans for one Increment. Here, you can see how all teams' work relates to each other and your shared goals.

This page shows all levels of the hierarchy configured for your Program:

• Third-level plans (if configured)

• Roadmap-level work in purple

• Team-level work for each team board in the Program

  • Use the “Show team level issues” switch in the Filters menu to show/hide team-level plans.

Dependencies between all visible items are shown as color-coded lines. Open the Dependencies map to focus on dependency management.

Use the Program board for activities like:

• Aligning on and committing to shared plans, including confidence voting

• Identifying and managing risks and dependencies

• Tracking progress and blockers, including in Scrum of Scrums

Team planning

The Team planning page focuses on one team’s plans for an Increment. Here, a team can make plans to execute the big goals for the Increment.

Each team board in a Program has a Team planning page for each Increment.

• Plan story-level work from the backlog or synchronize sprints for scrum teams.

• You can select additional teams to view and manage interdependent plans.

Use the Team planning page to:

• Connect work from your team backlog to Objectives and to the big plans on the Increment roadmap.

• Manage dependencies within the team and with other teams.

• Estimate work and schedule according to sprint capacity.

• Align and commit on plans, including a confidence vote.

Reports

Easy Agile Programs provides in-app reports pages for:

• Dependencies

• Objectives
