What is Savah?
A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing
Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.
What is Astra?
Astra's November 12 releases close two Pro security holes and fix menus for screen readers.
Astra stays on a two-week cadence of paired free and Pro releases, most of them fixes. Free 4.14.3 fixes submenu behavior for screen readers, touch and mouse users, a mobile header that appeared at the wrong breakpoint and Customizer saves over the REST API. Pro 4.13.13 closes a shortcode-injection path through search terms and stored scripts in Auto Load Previous Post, and fixes Modern Checkout and Germanized issues.

A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing
◆ Current state
Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is toward a more complete enterprise-agile platform: not just visualizing PI work but configuring it to a team's model, reporting on it, and planning resources against it. Each release fills a gap a SAFe coach would otherwise solve with spreadsheets.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued depth on reporting and resource planning — likely more dashboard widgets and capacity/forecasting refinements that build on the recently shipped Dashboard module.
Astra
5.0DESIGN
Astra's November 12 releases close two Pro security holes and fix menus for screen readers.
◆ Current state
Astra stays on a two-week cadence of paired free and Pro releases, most of them fixes. Free 4.14.3 fixes submenu behavior for screen readers, touch and mouse users, a mobile header that appeared at the wrong breakpoint and Customizer saves over the REST API. Pro 4.13.13 closes a shortcode-injection path through search terms and stored scripts in Auto Load Previous Post, and fixes Modern Checkout and Germanized issues.
◆ Where it's heading
The theme is in maintenance mode: security hardening, WooCommerce checkout repair and accessibility fixes, with the September custom Global Palette colors the last visible feature. Modern Checkout and Site Builder remain where most Pro issues and fixes land.
◆ Prediction
Expect another paired fix release in about two weeks, again led by Pro security and Modern Checkout fixes; nothing in the entries points to a new feature.
