Agile Planning
Kanban Board
New Agile Features

• TeamForge 8.1 introduces a new Tracker Kanban Board view (in
addition to the traditional List, Plan and Track views).
– The Kanban Board allows a team to visually convey a work item’s progress
(via Kanban cards) as it flows through a system or process
– Access the Kanban Board by clicking KANBAN in the tracker view toggle
New Tracker Kanban Board

• The Kanban Board allows multiple Scrum and Kanban teams to
work together in a single TeamForge project.
– Teams can optionally work in a common backlog
– Create multiple named Kanban Boards for a single TeamForge Project
• Each board with its own value stream map
– E.g., Feature/Story Progress, Defect Progress, Impediments or Resolutions
• Each board with its own WIP limits
– Notification when WIP limits are breached, or no limits for a “Sticky Wall”
• Each board with its own configuration of Trackers

• Click the Configure button to create and configure the first
Kanban board for the project.
Kanban Board – Create and Configure Kanban Boards
Step 1: Name Kanban board and select trackers Step 2: Define Kanban states and constraints Step 3: Map Kanban states to tracker statuses

• Once a Kanban Board is created, use the Manage Boards button
to create new Kanban boards, toggle between saved boards and
manage existing boards.

Click a board name in the list to
toggle to that board view

• Use the Kanban Board’s “collapsible bookshelf” effect to make
your board more readable.
– View only those states which are of interest, while collapsing those
which are not
– Or, view unlimited states using the carousel scroll
Kanban Board – Display Features
Use the carousel scroll to
view additional states
Use the arrows to expand and collapse
the states to simplify your display

• Set limits on the number of artifacts which may be in a given
state at any time.
• Receive visual
notification when those
limits are breached.
Kanban Board – Value Stream Limits and Notifications
The background on the Not
Started state column header
indicates that there are too
many artifacts in this state on
this board
The limits are displayed
below the state header

• Easily and conveniently view child cards of
Kanban cards
• Number of child cards (including both open
and closed) is shown in a gray circle at the
top right of the Kanban card
– Clicking on the gray circle showing the
number of child cards opens a scrollable list of
child cards, including up to five cards per page
Convenient Viewing of Child Cards

Task Board Auto-Assign
• When enabled, the new Auto Assign Task to Me flag in the Task
Board will automatically assign tasks to you as they are dragged
across the status swim lanes.
Task Board View
When Tasks are dragged to a new status swim lane
and the Auto Assign Task to Me flag is enabled, the
user’s avatar will appear on the card and the Task
will be assigned to that user Auto Assign Task to Me flag

Tracking Agile Projects
• In the List, Track and Kanban views, your Team and Planning Folder
selections persist between Tracker views and browser sessions.
– Choose a Team in Track View and your Kanban View is already filtered by that Team.
– View by Team or Planning folder in the List View, and the Track and Kanban Views are
filtered the same.

• The new avatar service that runs throughout TeamForge (in
tracker boards, SCM, etc.) allows users to select personalized or
auto-generated avatars.
• Avatars connect TeamForge elements that use either user name
or email address-based identification to the user’s profile.

TeamForge + Jira

Best Tools for the Job

• Powerfully extend JIRA with TeamForge enterprise SCM capabilities for Git
and Subversion
• Add TeamForge-enabled visibility, traceability, and context to JIRA projects
– See all the activities related to a JIRA event throughout its lifecycle and across tools,
including downstream commits, builds, reviews, binary artifacts, and more.
• All from inside JIRA
JIRA now expanded with end-end Development Context

• See associations in JIRA as well as in TeamForge.
– Use the JIRA ticket ID in square brackets in the commit message
– TeamForge collects meta-data from JIRA to track these associations
– Git and Subversion are both supported
JIRA – Create Associations

• Use the TeamForge tab in JIRA to view associations.
• Use the Trace button to show the traceability chain.
JIRA – View Associations and Traceability Chain
JIRA’s
TeamForge Tab
The TeamForge tab displays the
associations including details
such as Status, Posted By,
Source and more
Use the Trace button to view
the traceability chain from
requirements to deployment

this JIRA ticket

• Clicking the Trace button displays the traceability chain which
spans requirements through deployment from the point of view
of the target activity.
JIRA – Traceability Chain
JIRA’s TeamForge tab Traceability Chain
The current or
target activity acts
as the starting point
for this view of the
traceability chain
Each node is an activity in the chain such as a commit, a build, an
issue, or a review
This view provides an immediate insight into the health of the
chain
Expand the chain to view more
associations and relationships

• Commit associations are displayed in the TeamForge native
Source Code browser as well.
