# Schedule features for your program increments

Define a program increment \(PI\) and plan the features scheduled for completion within that PI.

## Before you begin

Role required: safe\_art\_user or safe\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Create features for PIs.

2.  View current and future program increments either in a list view or on a Visual Task Board \(VTB\).

3.  Assess features in the backlog and move them to a PI.


**Parent Topic:**[SAFe Board — ART level](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scaled-agile-framework-safe/program-level-tabs.md)

## Use the SAFe program list view

Use the SAFe program list view to create, organize, track, start, and complete your program increments \(PIs\).

### Before you begin

Role required: safe\_admin or safe\_art\_user

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Scaled Agile Framework \(SAFe\)** > **SAFe Board**.

2.  From the list at the top-left corner, select the level as **ART** and select your ART.

3.  Click the **Backlog** tab.

4.  Select the **List** view.

5.  To create a PI, click **Create Program Increment**.

    Fill the required fields in the [PI form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scaled-agile-framework-safe/create-SAFeprogramincrement.md). To edit an existing PI, click the program increment number and edit the required details in a form.

6.  To schedule a feature, drag the feature in the **Backlog** section and drop it in the required PI.

7.  To personalise and view columns on a list, click the Personalize icon.

8.  To start the first PI, click **Start** that appears in its section.

    The **Planning** tab opens.

9.  To complete a PI, click **Complete** that appears in its section.

    A dialog box appears to indicate the number of completed and incomplete stories, features, and sprints. Move incomplete features to a future program increment, or mark features and remaining sprints as **Complete**.


## Use the SAFe program roadmap view

Use the SAFe program roadmap view to track program increments \(PIs\) of your agile release train \(ART\) and plan features for future PIs.

### Before you begin

Role required: safe\_admin or safe\_art\_user

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Scaled Agile Framework \(SAFe\)** > **SAFe Board**.

2.  From the list at the top-left corner, select the level as **ART** and choose your ART.

3.  Click the **Backlog** tab.

4.  Select the **Roadmap** view.

5.  Schedule a feature by dragging the feature from the **No Program increment** lane and drop it in the required program increment lane.

    You can reschedule features from one PI lane into the other by rearranging the feature cards.

6.  Add a feature directly to a PI lane by clicking **Add Card** at the bottom of the list in the lane.

    You can also click the more options icon \(\[Omitted image "ellipsis.png"\] Alt text: more options for program increment lane\) and click **Add card**.

7.  Hide a PI lane by clicking the more options icon \(\[Omitted image "ellipsis.png"\] Alt text: more options for program increment lane\) and click **Hide lane**.
