This section explains the core ideas behind Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD — how it models Plans and work items as cards, how swimlanes organize the board, and how capacity tracking and prioritization support planning decisions.
Introduction to Planningboard — What the board is, how it fits into Polarion, and the relationship between Plans and the board view.Board Structure — The anatomy of the board: swimlanes, cards, columns, and how work items and Plans appear on the board surface.Plans Modes — How the board selects and displays Plans using a Plan query, and the different modes in which Plans can be presented.
Capacity Tracking — How the capacity bar reflects effort against available capacity per swimlane, and how the board surfaces overloaded and underloaded swimlanes.Normalization — How capacity normalization adjusts effort values so that swimlanes with different team sizes or sprint lengths can be compared consistently.
Prioritization — How the board’s ordering mechanism controls the priority of work items within and across swimlanes.Dependencies and Links — How work-item link roles surface as dependency indicators on cards.SAFe Integration — How Planningboard supports Scaled Agile Framework planning structures within Polarion.Teams Service — How the Teams Service provides team membership and capacity data consumed by the board.
