Planview AgilePlace

Vorteile

The agile project planning feature, which is built around kanban, data-analytics, and smart visual management is the most striking feature in this application. The information architecture around tasks, backlog, color coding, drag and drop of cards makes this application a must have for agile planning.

Nachteile

The application is not intuitive and it takes time for a new user to get acquainted. Reporting feature with actionable insights can be more detailed oriented to make this application a robust one. There should also be an option to control the scrolling as a lot tasks can crowd the board.

Vorteile

This is a nice relatively lightweight application that is easily configurable. Teams can quickly setup their own boards as they want and share them with other teams to view. The interface is simple and intuitive with a good level of configuration. Leankit delivers on the simplicity and ease of use.

Nachteile

At the time of using it, it was not easy to share work across multiple boards. The option at the time was to create a master board and create dependencies from there. That only worked if you planned for that at the beginning. However, if you were to decide later that you wanted to do this, it was much more difficult to retrospectively build that hierarchy. It also stripped new lines from descriptions, while there are workarounds with tags, it was frustrating that have wrapping automatically.

Vorteile

I really like the way Leankit visualizes tasks as 'cards', so you can see blocks that you and your co-workers are working on at any given time. It can be a little visually overwhelming at first, but there are filtering options that you can turn on to only show you cards that you're attached to, or make other peoples' cards transparent so you get a more at-a-glance view of your tasks for the day/week etc.

Nachteile

It's fairly bare bones. On top of this, if you've only got one lane for projects being worked on and people put enough cards in there that the time surpasses the allotment, a notification comes up asking you to enter a reason that you're going over the time limit. You can enter whatever you want into the dialogue box making this basically superfluous. I wouldn't have as much of an issue with this if the lane showed you were over the time limit without the annoying popup.

Vorteile

LeanKit is a simple, intuitive way to create and track tasks for KANBAN. I've used others and I'm fairly happy with LeanKit. Integrates with SSO (Okta) and is very nice.
Very easy to use. Link to other systems (ticketing systems, etc). Very good visual representation and good for collaboration.

Nachteile

None that I can think of. Other than difficulty deleting cards that you fat-finger, you need an admin to remove them. Just use it and get used to not having to delete cards for correction.

Vorteile

Easy to use and setup boards. If you use kanban for your development seems to be a good tool

Nachteile

No tools to manage backlog for large product over several version. Planning capability for SAFe is poor.

Vorteile

It allows you to create a completely custom board and stays true to its KanBan nature. It easily allows you to see who's working on what and when a task has been sent off to you.

Nachteile

It sends you a ridiculous number of emails. Every little change made to a task or board is emailed to you - even if you did it. I understand some notification via email is possibly necessary, however, you should have the capability to subscribe to only certain types of email notifications.

Vorteile

I think this program is great at clearing showing where you team is at with a project. There are so many ways to communicate different things. You can leave comments, move it to a physical lane, mark it with tags. Shows a good birds-eye view of where you team it. Parent cards and child cards help track projects across different boards. Very helpful and easy to use.

Nachteile

It's limitations with lanes and lack of sleek design can make it hard to look at and can be over whelming if there are many cards in a lane

Vorteile

LeanKit helps is to keep all of our teams projects and collaborative efforts organized. It gives us a fairly good visualization of work progress.

Nachteile

My department’s work is fairly repetitive, so it can sometimes feel cumbersome to Kanban all of our work.

Vorteile

Simple to use and set up, visual and easy to navigate, drag and drop features.

Nachteile

Some of the reporting features were hard to customize or modify, and instructions were not always in depth enough.

Vorteile

Ease of use
Integration with 3rd party apps (ZenDesk, Atlassian)

Vorteile

Lo que más me ha gustado es la facilidad para personalizar los tableros kanban, la clasificación de tareas, los reportes que se pueden generar en la herramienta, su usabilidad para cualquier persona.

Nachteile

Hasta el momento consideró que es una herramienta muy completa para la gestión de proyectos y actividades.

Vorteile

It is very easy to deployment
Create and manage cards across the lanes
Tagging cards properly and assigned to the users
Very much flexible on planning releases and deployment

Nachteile

Not much very supportive to customization
Or creating ad hoc customized lanes and cards very easily
Customized logics or rules to control cards is also
Not possible

Vorteile

Podemos tener la posiblidad de gestionar proyectos ágiles donde se utilice tableros Kanban para seguimiento a tareas

Nachteile

Difícil integración con herramientas de gestión de proyectos tradicionales

Warum Planview AgilePlace gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Planview AgilePlace

Vorteile

Customizable swim lanes
Can color code the tickets (stories, epics, etc)
Easy to customize the behavior
Things are like a proper kanban board not in a list.
There are no workflows like jira

Nachteile

A little lag sometimes
Sometimes you can over customize
It’s a little clunky on behavior

Vorteile

Instead of a traditional list format you often find with other project management tools, LeanKit provides you with visual cards or 'projects' you can move into lanes, assign, etc. It's ease of use is awesome and it's pretty to look at.

Nachteile

They are constantly updating look and adding new features - which is great, but it sometimes causes issues. This isn't often, but when it does happen it can be frustrating. Also the reporting could be better. It doesn't have best insight.

Vorteile

Clean and easy to use interface, along with the ability to configure boards with the lanes and sub lanes that you require. Boards easily link to each other so you can as the project manager can have a view on the progress on sub boards.
Being able to choose colours and card types to easily indicate a cards current intention within the current lane has made visibility of projects so much easier.

Nachteile

I do think their costing model is a little high based on some other options out their. I would love to see a small team version but with the needed options.

Vorteile

You can visually see the status and details with each card, that represents each project. It's almost like post-it notes on a board. You can have a one glance overview and see everything and who is assigned to them. If someone changes something in your project, you're immediately notified. If there are a lot of changes, it can be hard to keep up with it.

Nachteile

Once when you drill down on each project, it very thick with information, which can be good and daunting at the same time. But if there was a change, it can get confusing. I'm not a heavy user but I do keep up with the projects listed. The search is ok but I would like to see results in a better view.

Vorteile

The UI is simple and sleak compared to other agile management tools used especially for kannan boards. Good desktop app too. Provides decent customisation options.

Nachteile

Free tier has less features. Less integrations provided. My team found it a bit on costlier side.

Vorteile

• InCREDible depth of learning content available.
• Standard subscription is comprehensive and well-priced.
• Easy-to-use RSS/calendar feeds make it easy to integrate with my calendaring.
• Wide variety of templates help a newb like me get started quickly.
• Responsive design well implemented across desktop and iOS app.

Nachteile

• The UI is absolutely functional and straightforward, but a little spartan. Apps you're going to live in all day need to inspire feelibngs of love and warmth (see Slack)
• As someone completely new to lean and kanban, AND with my tendency to just in without reading any documentation, I'd love to see a search field in the in-app help rather than links to tutorials and knowledge base. I want to be able to click open the help window, type "how do I X the Y?" and have the results page pop open.
• Inexplicably, clicking the (?) icon in the tool bar pops open the Privacy policy.

Vorteile

Easy to use, rich functionality, good webinars and tools to help the team get on-board.

Nachteile

Even though there are lots of integrations available - seems there's still way to go. Inherent scrum supporting tools like burndown chart are not intuitive to use from day 1.

Vorteile

This software had everything we wanted in a Kanban board. Ease of use, ability to customize how we wanted it to look with subcategories, etc. We used this for our daily standups and weekly meetings.

Nachteile

The features are great, the cost if what made us move to another product

Vorteile

I like the Kanban style of listing the tasks on my plate. It helps me plan ahead and keeps me from wasting time wondering what I need to do next.

Nachteile

While it is great for big overall projects, I wish there was an easier way of creating cards for small projects. I get them sometimes and unless I tacle them quickly I often forget. Is there a way for you to create a shortcut to quick create a card?

Vorteile

Easy creation of task. it can be as simple or complex as you want, from a simple task name to start/end dates, resource assignments, categorization ,etc.

Nachteile

Difficult to have sub categories. Everything is organized in columns. it would be great to have a windows like organization.

Vorteile

+ Intuitive interface once you get used to it.
+ Very flexible
+ Flood your favorite problem children with email tasks until they scream (or create a spam filter)
+ Multiple swimlanes & sublanes are mind blowing. Seriously.... Experiment!

Nachteile

- Learning curve (but this is not that big of a deal.. trust me..)
- tags are not selectable

Vorteile

Followed Kaban Lean Method

Nachteile

Basic Level is too limited compared to other solution providers

Vorteile

The customization is great. Boards can be setup exactly as needed. Overall it's a simple system for users to learn, while still providing plenty of flexibility.

Nachteile

Some of the options that seems like they should basic aren't available unless at the highest paid tier. The pricing jump seems disproportionate for the benefits at those higher tiers.

Would like to see some changes in the way cards are setup and laid out. Also easier integration with external apps to provide more functionality.

Vorteile

- You can fully customize your board for the needs of your squad.
- A lot of functionality when it comes to editing cards, breaking down tasks, etc.

Nachteile

- UI is a little dull unless you have a colour system in-place to differentiate different types of tasks.
- System overall feels a little robust with how you edit cards.

Vorteile

A lot of good features such as clear relations for tasks, funnels, many ticket types.
Very collaborative.
Easy to learn.

Nachteile

Should have a native integration for Power BI.
Notification is not quite perfect.

Vorteile

It has an easy interface with intuitive features

Nachteile

I would say color and design needs some upgrade

Vorteile

Ease of use.

Nachteile

Haven't found on yet.

Vorteile

Customization options, features, flexibility

Nachteile

Technical issues, inability to unsubscribe from emails, unhelpful customer service, tedious process for tasks

Vorteile

Leankit is a decent collaboration suite helpful for tracking details around things like project management. At least that's what we use it for. It's ok software, don't get me wrong, but when there are alternatives like Trello out there that are free or mostly so I'm not sure why this is worth the money.

Nachteile

First off, the Trello interface is cleaner and more intuitive. Second, the basic version of Trello, which will suffice for 90% of users, is free.

Vorteile

Easy to set up. Good value. Lots of templates to get started with. Easy to use.

Nachteile

Maybe the color palette is not the greatest?

Vorteile

Great easy to use Kanban app with a clean interface and easy to use boards- helps by making chages to projects easy and quick

Nachteile

interface is a little old fashioned compared to other similar apps- could benifit from strong support for non apple eco systems

Vorteile

I love the Kanban board functions and visibility to folders. We move our projects to completed once all meetings have been had with the business and it allows our team to be more organized. The Kanban board is an easy and organized board that helps our business stay communicated. I also love the personalization of profiles with pictures.

Nachteile

We have been using this board/software for about three months and so far I haven't found anything I do not like.

Vorteile

This project management software is very easy to use and easy to understand what is happening. I really like the Templates that are available especially the Dve Opps Template. I also really like the mobile app that is available.

Nachteile

The software does not have a specific area for managing risks. However, there are different ways to overcome this and also add issue tracking.

Vorteile

Most actions can be done with a click of a mouse or even drag and drop, customizable colors for different types of tickets.

Nachteile

Sometimes when you drag a ticket and move it to another lane, it doesn't save there and you have to try to move it again and again, until it finally drops into designated lane.

Vorteile

Lean kit is user friendly and easy to follow. The "card" format is visually pleasing and functional.

Nachteile

I would like to see more detail, possibly behind the cards and possibly varied formats for those that prefer a more list like structure
