Summary of SAFe ART Dashboard
The SAFe ART Dashboard enables ServiceNow customers to visualize and track the progress of Agile Release Train (ART) members on features and Program Increments (PIs) over specified time periods. It provides insights into overall ART velocity, historical performance against PI objectives, and cycle times for stories, facilitating informed planning for upcoming program increments.

Key Features
- ART Summary Tab:
- Feature Progress: Horizontal bar chart displaying progress on all features worked on by ART members.
- Velocity by PI: Bar chart showing ART velocity across multiple PIs, helping assess stability and predictability.
- Cycle Time Tab:
- Story Cycle Time: Bubble chart identifying the duration each story takes from "in-progress" to completion. Bubble size reflects story points; hovering reveals detailed cycle time breakdown across various states such as Work in Progress, Ready for Testing, and Testing. Interactive zooming and filtering by story states enhance analysis.
- Program Predictability Tab:
- ART Program Predictability: Line chart tracking historical ART performance against PI objectives. It shows business value achieved as a percentage for the ART overall and individual teams. The chart includes a linear regression trend line for ART’s business value achievement. Interactive drill-down capabilities allow viewing detailed PI objectives per ART or team.
User Roles and Upgrade Information
The dashboard is intended for users with the safescrumuser role who need to monitor ART progress on features and PIs. Customers upgrading from version 1.0.2 or earlier of the Performance Analytics Content Pack for Essential SAFe should install the latest dashboard from the Solution Library to access the updated layout and Story Cycle Time report.
Practical Benefits
- Gain comprehensive visibility into ART members’ progress on features and PIs.
- Assess velocity trends to ensure ART work delivery is stable and predictable.
- Analyze story cycle times to identify bottlenecks or delays in the development process.
- Monitor ART and individual team performance against PI objectives to improve planning and predictability.
Visualize how the ART members are progressing on features and program increments (PIs) over a given period using the SAFe ART dashboard. Gain insight on the overall velocity of the ART members, historical performance of the ART on the PI objectives so that you can plan the work accordingly for the upcoming program increments.

| Title | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feature Progress | Horizontal bar chart
|
View the progress of all the features that the ART members are working on. |
| Velocity by PI | Bar chart
|
View the velocity of the ART across various PIs. Understand if the ART is achieving a stable, predictable velocity. |

| Story Cycle Time | Bubble chart
|
Identify the time taken for each story in the ART to move from an in-progress state to completion. Each bubble on the graph represents a story. The height of the bubble from the x-axis shows how long that story took to move from an in-progress state to completion. The size of the story bubbles are relative to each other based on their story points. Pointing your mouse cursor over a bubble displays the following details about that story:
From the Story State section towards the right of the report, you can filter the report to view the cycle time of the stories for the selected states. The chart displays the cycle time for each story as the cumulative sum of all duration of the selected states. If there are too many stories at any area of the chart and the bubbles appear crowded on the report, you can zoom in that particular area of the report for a clearer view. |

| ART: Program Predictability | Line chart |
Track the historical performance of the ART on achieving their PI objectives. The series in this report show the performance of the ART as whole and also the performance of each team of the ART. The horizontal axis shows the completed PIs and the vertical axis shows the range of business value achieved in percentage (%). Each series is the representation of the business value achieved, which is calculated from the planned and actual business values of the PI objectives. For more information, see SAFe PI objectives. From the chart, you can see which teams are consistently achieving between 80% and 100% of the set PI objectives, which is the ideal range according to SAFe. The Linear (ART) dotted-line series on the chart provides a linear regression on the business value achieved for the ART. This series serves as an indication of how the scores of the business value achieved are trending. Pointing your mouse cursor at a data point on any of the series gives you the numeric value of business value achieved.
