The Board module is very helpful during planning sessions (such as Program Increment (PI) Planning or Iteration planning) as it can show capacities across different teams. But there is much more the Board module can help you with. For example, it can boost the way you monitor Timebox execution thanks to its built-in reporting features and various progress bars that will help you and your team stay on track.
...
The Board module also incorporates a timeline that shows important events or milestones. Plus, you can customize the task cards by using the task template creator.

hierarchy
The Board module utilizes the concept of the Box hierarchy, which needs to be configured first in the Overview module. You can zoom in on three levels of Boxes, for example:

Program Increment

If you create multiple sub-Boxes, the Board can display up to two levels down.
The data on the Board can be displayed at one or two levels. For example, at the iteration level only or at the program increment and iteration levels.
