The ART Planning Board is where we visualize:
Features which are added by mirroring them after they are assigned to a Team.
Significant Dependencies selected to be mirrored from the Team Boards
Milestones or Events: these sticky notes originate on the ART Planning Board, this is what we will configure below.
The infamous red string (lines) that connect these sticky types together.
Configure additional swimlanes for managing dependencies related to External Orgs.
NOTE
Most sticky types do not originate on this board, but they will be mirrored from the ART Backlog Board (Features) or the Team Boards (Dependencies).
Configuring Sticky Types on the ART Planning Board
Add additional sticky types (or rename existing) that you want to be used on the ART Planning Board, sticky types that will help facilitate the Scrum of Scrums, management sync rituals etc.
1 | Sticky Type Name | Give your Sticky Type a name |
2 | Sticky Type Color | Choose a color for the Sticky Type |
3 | Select an appropriate Sticky Function | |
4 | Add Sticky Type | Add another Sticky Type |
5 | Mirrored Sticky Types | Sticky Types configured on other Boards which can be mirrored and visualized on to the ART Planning Board |

Adding Swimlane/s for External Orgs/Dependencies
When you are preparing a new PI Session you will have the option to add additional Swimlane/s to the ART Planning Board, and arrange the order of the Swimlanes, to support your preferred ways of managing the PI at ART level.
On tab #6 ART Planning Board > click Settings
Click the green button +Add Extra Swimlane
Name the new extra swim lane (e.g., "External Dependencies")
Add the External Orgs to the Swimlane
Make sure you've created External Orgs under Organization | External Orgs
NOTE
You can add multiple External Org entities (Premium Plan) to a single swimlane for simple visibility on the ART Planning Board, or use multiple Swimlanes and have an individual configuration for every ART Planning Board (Enterprise Plan).
Manage order of Swimlanes
During the initial setup of the PI Session, you can reorder the Swimlanes by drag-and-dropping the order of the Swimlanes via the three horizontal stripe icons.
