New Reports for Essential and Portfolio SAFe^®

Our first collection of built-in reports for Scaled Agile — the PI Planning Board, Epic Dependency Report, and Product Roadmap — make reporting on your Essential SAFe^® implementation easy with custom dashboards. In this release, we're adding even more reports to help you make better decisions faster including PI burndowns and burnup charts.

Portfolio SAFe^® helps organizations align strategy with development so teams can understand how what they're working on aligns with large scale initiatives and stakeholders can see how development efforts are progressing that move the company's goals forward in an agile way.

The new reports let you take VisualScript's power of creating visibility in context and data-based decisions making to your Portfolio SAFe^® implementation and even integrate with Portfolio for Jira.

Initiative Roadmap

Let teams see how their development efforts align with large scale Initiatives and which Features an Agile Release Train will work on. With VisualScript, you can build an initiative roadmap easily from existing Jira data. This roadmap will also integrate with Portfolio for Jira and get links between Initiatives and Epics.

Initiative Dependency Report

As your organization and SAFe^® implementation scales, you need to understand dependencies to continue to make good business decisions. VisualScript's Iniatiative Dependency Report will integrate with Portfolio for Jira and let you see what issues are linked to any selected initiative and show their dependencies even across different projects.

PI Burndown

A Program Increment Burndown is a great tool for Agile Release Trains (ART) both as a retrospective to discuss a closed PI and as a way to plan for future Program Increments. VisualScript's PI Burndown report lets the whole team see the trend for a previous PI so they can make good, data-based decisions for future PIs.

PI Burnup

VisualScript's PI Burnup chart is a great companion report to the PI Burndown chart for retrospectives and future PI planning for ARTs. The burnup report adds a scope line to help show when work was added or removed from a project and how that may have affected the teams ability to complete work.

Sprint Burnup

VisualScript's built-in Sprint Burnup report lets you scale your burnup across multiple boards and add sub-tasks into the calculation. With this report, you can see why a team may have missed their forecast or if they being under-utalized.
