Kanban integration

When using the EssentialSAFe agile schema, you can use Kanban to manage your project.

Compass includes Kanban functionality. Kanban is a system that represents pieces of work visually on a Kanban board. Project members have the ability to see every piece of work in a given release and its status. Compass includes two different Kanban boards.

  • Team Kanban
  • Program Kanban

Kanban functionality is included by default as part of the EssentialSAFe agile schema in Compass.

Team Kanban

The Team Kanban board displays all Story record types associated with the schema. All assigned users can view the stories associated with each state. Users can change the state of the story by dragging each story card from one state to another, for example, from Assigned to In progress. Users can mark stories as Favorites by hovering on a card and clicking the star icon.

Team Kanban includes the ability to filter based on selected Release Train, Teams, Program Increment, and Iterations. After the filters are applied, the Kanban board is updated to reflect the results.

Program Kanban

The Program Kanban board displays all Feature record types associated with the schema. Similar to the Team Kanban, users can view all features and change the state of the feature by dragging and dropping each feature card from one state to another. Users can mark features as Favorites by hovering on a card and clicking the star icon.

Program Kanban includes the ability to filter based on selected Release Train and Program Increment. After the filters are applied, the Kanban board is updated to reflect the results.
