Agile Central Reviews
Pros
I love the robustness and how it helps us manage our projects. The reports are great and always allow us to keep track everything we are doing.
Our team of 50 users love using Planbox agile PM. It was easy to on board everyone right away and our team loves how easy it is to use and how much easier it is to track and monitor our projects.
The interface is very easy to use, and very easy to get started. They have a lot of very cool features, and it was made for agile project management which is great.
Cons
No native app (iOS/Android). Mobile website needs an upgrade.
I needed to pay with Amex and had to contact them for that.
I'm a pm in a midsize company (75-100). I've tried to implement agile in our organization for quite a while (not only in software dev), and I've had trouble getting team adoption.
"Best agile PM tool for our needs"
Overall: After an evaluation of different PM tools (with focus: agile/SCRUM) we decided to go with Planbox. Main reason was the extremely easy user interface which gives all team members a quick start. If people don't accept a tool, e.g. because it's too complex, it's a nightmare. What we also like a lot was the chance to create single tasks in a sprint with related subtasks. Each subtask can be assigned to a certain team member. As a scrum master you keep a very good overview about what's going on (who is working on which task etc.).
Pros: - web user interface simple and easy to understand (your team can start without getting trained before) - agile/SCRUM approach is supported very well - sprint with tasks and subtasks (which can be assigned to team members)
Cons: - no native app (iOS/Android) - mobile website needs an upgrade
"Keeps my clients and dev team happy. "
Overall: In my past 14 years in software industry, I have used various PM tools. By far, PlanBox has been the best tool for my company. I run a software consulting company called Novelty Technology (www.noveltytechnology.com) and I needed a tool to manage all my clients, projects and my [offshore] development team. Because of diverse people with diverse technical background that were involved in my projects, I needed that perfect tool that was simple to use, agile and easy to collaborate. I signed up for PlanBox two years ago and both my clients and dev team love it. I stated out with 5 users and now I have 30+ users. It has saved time and doubled my productivity.
"Agile"
Overall: Its fun to work in Agile since everyone works in same location and its result oriented approach
Pros: Result oriented approach Phase by phase deliverable are present for end users Less money wasted on big projects
Cons: Learning curve is more Hard to convince people who are in SDLC life cycles for long time Some tasks are more complicated compared to SDLC
"Great collaboration and reporting tool for Agile teams"
Overall: Overall, experience is very good with the tool with several reports. It would be better if it gives more automatic insights.
Pros: 1. Reports 2. Customization of UI 3. Backlog Management 4. Dashboards 5. Kanban boards 6. Management view
Cons: 1. Risk tracking 2. Not all features are intuitive
Vendor Response
"Powerful and intuitive Agile Project management application"
Pros: Planbox is an agile project management tool that is simple to use and very powerful. This isn't your typical agile tool, it does a lot more. Believe me, we have been using planbox for several months now and we will never go back to what we used to do before planbox. Easy to use even as agile beginners, support is incredible. Great information is provided to get things started. It was easy for our team to get on board and use the tool and the feedback from my teams have been great. This makes it much easier for us to work together as a team. If you have a team managing multiple projects this is definitely a tool worth considering. The tool easily helps you plan and manage several iterations. My team loves using it and it has improved our productivity. It has improved the way we work and we will continue to use planbox. Overall this is a fantastic product with great features and support. I highly recommend it!
Cons: We love the tool, it really works for our fast paced environment. Adapting to agile was a breeze with Planbox.
