📌 Why this matters

The Jira Program Board is a critical planning tool for agile teams practicing SAFe or large-scale scrum, enabling program-level visibility across multiple teams and sprints. It allows project managers and scrum masters to align work, identify dependencies, and coordinate delivery schedules in one centralized view. Teams that use Jira's Plans feature to create a program board can reduce planning overhead and improve cross-team transparency significantly. For organizations scaling agile practices, the program board is the connective layer between individual sprint backlogs and broader business objectives.
