The Solution Board is designed for tracking the Solution Increment, allowing you to view Program Boards from multiple collections in a single, unified space. It serves as a powerful tool for managing and tracking cross-ART dependencies, giving you clear visibility into how different teams and programs contribute to larger initiatives. By consolidating these views, the Solution Board makes it easier to monitor progress, identify risks, and ensure alignment across various workstreams.

Create Solution Boards
After creating a Solution Area, you can set up Solution Boards using the Program Boards from the collections linked to this Solution Area.
Access Rights to Solution Area
To simplify access management, Solution Areas automatically inherit access rights from their associated collections. Within each collection, you can set specific Solution Board Rights. If a user belongs to multiple collections, their rights are combined. This means that if a user has permission to create a Solution Board in any one of these collections, they will also be able to create a Solution Board within the Solution Area.
Solution Boards Listing View
The Solution Boards list displays the following:
