Key Outcomes
By using the SAFe Board, teams can efficiently manage their backlogs, track progress visually, and enhance collaboration. This structured approach leads to better sprint execution and improved oversight of team activities, ensuring that all tasks and stories are monitored and prioritized effectively.
As a team member, you can plan and monitor activities within your team by accessing the Team level on the SAFe Board.
The Team level includes the following tabs:
- Backlog
- Sprint Tracking
Backlog
The Backlog tab enables you to plan and prioritize stories for a sprint or multiple sprints by assessing stories in the backlog.
In addition, you can:
- Create stories.
- Reorder stories in the backlog using the drag feature. The story at the top of the backlog assumes higher priority with a lesser rank value. The story at the bottom of the backlog assumes lower priority with a higher rank value.
- Filter stories by a feature.
- Type a keyword in the search box to view only stories whose details match with the keyword.
- Create, organize, monitor, start, and complete sprints.
- View current and future sprints in chronological order.
- View these key aspects of a sprint: planned start and end dates, number of story points (total, complete, and pending) for the current sprint.
- Assess stories in the backlog and drag them to sprints.
- Move unfinished stories from the completed sprint to the backlog or a future sprint.

Sprint Tracking
The Sprint Tracking tab provides the following views:

graphic-rich environment suited for managing and collaborating records. To know more about
the actions that can be performed in the board, see Visual Task Boards. In addition, you can:
- Track all the stories of the current sprint across lanes.
- Move stories from one lane to another, which in turn updates the state of the stories.
- Filter stories based on search criteria.
- Task board
- Task board enables you to track all the scrum tasks of stories of the current sprint
across lanes.
- Move scrum tasks from one lane to another, which in turn updates the state of the scrum tasks.
- Filter scrum tasks based on search criteria.
- List
- List displays scrum tasks and tests associated to stories in each sprint. You can:
- Add scrum task and tests without leaving the context of the record.
- View the state, short description, and assignee of the scrum task without drilling down into details.
- View the short description and run result of a test.
- Assess scrum tasks and tests that are pending before the closure of current sprint.
