Digital.ai Agility vs. Jixee

Digital.ai Agility is an ideal tool for anyone who is looking to track the work of a software development team following agile processes. It easily supports multiple teams with multiple backlogs, but also allows aggregation and rollup across those teams for larger analysis and planning.

Jixee is well suited for the situation we are in. Most of the development is distributed over geographical location. So to itemize the tasks and to provide systematic tracking and stages Jixee is very well suited. Jixee is well suited if the automating the different stages in the development like tasks creation, updations, etc, especially cross-platform with a lot of ways for continuous interactions.

• Automated saving of changes, no records can be lost because all items are saved in real-time.
• The watch function, optional but beneficial when managing multiple teams or projects.

• Visual tool and automation
• Chat integration and push notification
• Simplified design
• Integrated version control

• Saving of changes is inconsistent. Sometimes the changes appear to save automatically and other times the user needs to click the "Apply" button. Until the user is familiar with when this needs to happen, work can easily be lost.
• This may be a setup configuration issue, but it would be good to be able to set the default team when creating stories. Too often stories are created and the user forgets to enter the team and they need to search the entire database for the story that was just created.

• Jixee subscription prices are expensive compared to its competitors.

VersionOne provides outstanding training. They have Product Owner training that I recommend every Product Owner attend. They have scrum master training and other agile training that was well worth the money paid because it made the teams more productive. And the support for the tool is incredible. These people live and breathe Agile and are evangelists and enthusiasts.

We considered rally & AgileCraft since they also provides good support to SAFe framework. Though I personally found Rally better equipped but Rally was rejected due to its higher cost. AgileCraft & Version One provides many common features i.e Team Rooms, Planning Rooms, Capabilities Kanban, Road mapping but Version One support for collaboration tools & its seamless integration with GitHub played key role in going with Version One.

Jixee interfaces with current developer services to construct custom processes, as well as providing real-time notifications through web, email, or OSX desktop.

• Companies have problems executing certain activities, that must be constantly monitored so that they can be performed. This is why the purchase of this program is so necessary, to save the company all the resources that are wasted activities that are not fulfilled in the established times.
• We could be calm after buying this software because we knew that the tasks that had more problems and in which more resources were spent, could be closely monitored.
