Plan and deliver development in Forge
Forge is the Movitera® module where the engineering team plans and delivers work. The unit is the issue, which advances through a status flow on the board, enters time-boxed cycles, and adds up to initiatives organized by domains.
The Forge model
Domains group initiatives by product area or team. Initiatives gather the issues of one large delivery. Issues are the day-to-day units of work, executed in cycles — time-boxed windows, like sprints. Impediments flag what stopped an issue, and designs record the upstream work before implementation.
| Entity | Code | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Issue | ISS-7 | Unit of work: a bug, a feature, or a task. |
| Initiative | INI-12 | Large delivery that gathers issues, inside a domain. |
| Domain | DOM-3 | Product area or team that groups initiatives. |
| Design | DSG-5 | Upstream design work, linked to issues. |
| Cycle | #4 | Time-boxed window in which issues get done. |
How an issue flows
The issue advances left to right on the board, from Backlog to Concluído (Completed).
Backlog— logged, not started yet.Em progresso(In progress) — someone is building it.Pronto p/ teste(Ready to test) andEm teste(In testing) — under verification.Pronto p/ deploy(Ready to deploy) — approved, waiting for release.Concluído(Completed) — delivered.Arquivado(Archived) — off the board, hidden by default.
Every issue has a type — Bug, Funcionalidade (Feature), or Tarefa (Task) — and a priority from Muito baixa (Very low) to Urgente (Urgent), shown as a colored indicator on the card.
Find anything by its code
On any Forge screen, the command palette creates issues, initiatives, cycles, and designs, navigates between pages, and jumps straight to an entity when you type its code — ISS-42, INI-7, DSG-3. With an issue open, it also moves the status and focuses the message field.
What each role sees
Forge access comes from the member's role on the team: user, manager, or admin. Everyone sees Inbox, Issues board, Ciclos (Cycles), Initiatives, Domains, and Design. Bloqueios (Impediments) appears for managers and admins; Repositórios (Repositories) and GitHub, only for admins. The full reference is in Who sees and does what in Forge, in the links below.
