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 Spectra?

Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.7 fixes headers on block themes as the fidelity work continues.

Spectra Blocks spent the autumn on fidelity: matching editor previews to live sites, fixing classic-theme spacing and Site Editor alignment, and letting its content count toward Yoast and Rank Math. 1.0.14 improved front-end loading and Slider accessibility, 1.0.15 added custom HTML attributes, and Pro 1.0.7 fixes per-page headers on Full Site Editor themes along with Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal rendering.

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.

Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.7 fixes headers on block themes as the fidelity work continues.

◆ Current state

Spectra Blocks spent the autumn on fidelity: matching editor previews to live sites, fixing classic-theme spacing and Site Editor alignment, and letting its content count toward Yoast and Rank Math. 1.0.14 improved front-end loading and Slider accessibility, 1.0.15 added custom HTML attributes, and Pro 1.0.7 fixes per-page headers on Full Site Editor themes along with Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal rendering.

◆ Where it's heading

After the AI page import push in September, releases have been about trust in the output: render it correctly, make it count for SEO, now make it fast and accessible. The Pro add-on follows the same cadence with design-token and dynamic-data fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect accessibility passes on other interactive blocks such as tabs or accordions, following the Slider, alongside further Pro fix rounds.
