Summary of SAFe ART Dashboard
The SAFe ART Dashboard enables ServiceNow customers to visualize and monitor the progress of Agile Release Train (ART) members on features and program increments (PIs) over specific periods. It provides insights into ART velocity and historical performance on PI objectives, facilitating informed planning for upcoming increments.

Key Features
- ART Summary Tab
- Feature Progress: A horizontal bar chart showing progress on all features ART members are working on.
- Velocity by PI: A bar chart illustrating the ART’s velocity across different PIs to assess stability and predictability.
- Cycle Time Tab
- Story Cycle Time: A bubble chart displaying the time each story takes from in-progress to completion. Bubble size reflects story points, and detailed story metrics (e.g., time spent in various states) are available on hover. Filtering by story states and zooming into crowded areas enhance analysis.
- Program Predictability Tab
- ART: Program Predictability: A line chart tracking the ART’s historical performance on PI objectives by showing percentage business value achieved per completed PI. Separate series represent the ART as a whole and each team within the ART. It highlights teams consistently meeting 80-100% of objectives, the ideal range per SAFe guidelines.
- Drill-down capability allows viewing specific PI objectives contributing to chart data for both ART-level and team-level analyses.
- A linear regression trend line indicates the overall performance trajectory of the ART.
End User and Roles
The dashboard is designed for SAFe ART users with the safescrumuser role, enabling them to view ART member progress on features and PIs.
Upgrade Note
Customers upgrading from versions 1.0.2 or earlier of the Performance Analytics Content Pack for Essential SAFe should install this dashboard from the Solution Library to access the updated layout and the Story Cycle Time report.
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. |
| Title | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
