### Progress & replan

Use the **progress views in Ativo** to facilitate the Art Sync and scrum of scrum meetings.

### Quick Tips

#### Show less stories on the board

* &#x20;Use ***Filters > Team filter*** with ***Add linked Issues*** to only show the issues from your team, together with the links with other teams.
* Use ***View options > Issues > Cross-team dependencies*** to only show issues that have cross team dependencies
* Use ***Filters > Issue type*** to only see the planning of epics (features)
* Use ***Filters > RAG > Amber & Red*** (do not select ‘add linked issues’) to only see the issues that have red and amber indicators.

Use the ***View options > Cords*** to hide cords on the board.

#### Cord colors

* <mark style="color:red;">⬤</mark> Red cord color = needs to replan to respect dependency (negative ‘slack’).
* <mark style="color:orange;">⬤</mark> Amber cord color = needs attention as prerequisite and the issue itself are planned in the same sprint (‘slack’ = 0, this is on a critical path)
* <mark style="color:purple;">⬤</mark> Purple cord color = timing of dependency is OK (positive ‘slack’)

#### Handle delays & re-planning

Unfinished stories in a sprint should be re-planned in another sprint.

Unfinished epics (features) should **not** be replanned. Ativo will detect if underlying issues are planned in later sprints than the feature itself was originally planned, and show this in the progress view.

Epics (features) added or removed from the PI can be tagged with ‘added/removed’ commitment levels. Use ***Filters > Commitment level*** (select ‘Add linked issues’) to switch between original planning and planning with added/removed features.

#### Filter

Note: filters affect all sections of the board, including the risks & impediments and the burn-up chart.
