Visualization tool that allows to:
• Build Hierarchies
• Show Data

14. Full Hierarchy
• Share information with everyone
• Buy-in and knowledge empowerment
• Report to leadership status and progress
• Track risks, blockers, issues in real-time

16. Focused Hierarchies
• Track your PIs
• RTEs can track their ARTs
• Team can track their own work
• Teams can also track work of related teams too!

17. PI Planning
• We have the PI hierarchy, use in-line editing
to update information like status
• We can perform extra issue information
lookup and updating with issue details
• AND we can make it even easier for our
teams to look up feedback and give it

21. Using Gantt Charts
• Gantt charts are your friend (when used correctly)
• They can show live data
• Can be responsive not prescriptive
• Part of the feedback loop
