The UI of the Pivotal tracker is really beautiful and amazing, which looks trivial, but we have it open all the time, so it's nice for us. In Pivotal tracker for me its very Easy to create tasks or stories anytime without facing any problems. Pivotal tracker provides us a ton of features to track the tasks and manage a team and the projects. Pivotal tracker allows for a entire team to be on the same page of the tool in regards to where is the project right now, right status of every task, what is being worked on and by whom.

Best suited for agile software development and project management. For those who have tough and tight requirements where changes need to be done simultaneously along with the development, this can come in handy. Sprints would give a clear idea of who is doing what in a project team. Task status, bugs fixed, planning, everything under one tool.

Pros
  • Pivotal Tracker helps our team visualize our projects in the form of stories (virtual cards) moving through our workflow. This encourages us to break down projects into manageable chunks and have important conversations about deliverables and scope.
  • The forced-prioritization allows our team to have a shared understanding about what is most important and make collective decisions about what our team will work on next.
  • By dividing future iterations by our team's velocity, Pivotal Tracker accurately predicts when we will complete future work.

Cons
  • Used to have a newsfeed-type feature with all the updates from the previous day. They removed it. I liked getting a snapchat of what changed from before.
  • When signing up for email alerts, can be inundated with emails for every change to the status of a story.
  • Communication on stories through the comment section can be a little difficult, and not very organized.

  • Perhaps it could be a little faster, with so many functions the platform becomes somewhat slow and delays the work.
  • The boards to organize tasks do not show me all the pending tasks of various projects, it would be ideal to be able to modify this to be able to centralize the pending tasks.
  • Mail notifications are abundant and stressful, I tried to eliminate receiving so many emails but it seems to be a failed mission.

I love the simplicity, non-configurability, and price/performance of this tool. Hands down my favorite project management tool for agile.

Usability
It works good enough. I didn't have many problems with that. The user interface is a bit confusing though. The team took some time to understand where some configurations were.

Support Rating
We've never had to request support in the 5 years I have been using it. A solid solution! Everything I have had questions about is on the website. New features are in their newsletter with more details on their website. Often I am using the new features within a few minutes of reading the article.

Alternatives Considered
Pivotal Tracker, Asana and Trello all have free versions making them ideal for smaller companies to try out. All of them blast Kannan boards and issue tracking capabilities. While Trello and Asana are great products in themselves, Pivotal Tracker edges them out with its wealth of features including trackability of epics, burndowns, better reporting, and analytics. JIRA, on the other hand, is way more customizable, has more reporting capabilities and more features than Pivotal Tracker but is more expensive too. At the end of the day, it comes down to what you're looking for in an agile project management tool as well as how much you're willing to pay for it.

They are similar and very powerful tools, with really incredible functions. But Zoho Sprints gives me much more customizable dashboards and interface and the reports are much more tailored to our particular work.

Return on Investment
  • Pivotal Tracker has been a cost-effective solution for what we need. It has allowed our ROI to be greater than if we went with another system.
  • Learning curve; with this easy to use tool, it has been a shorter learning curve for new hires to find what they need to accomplish their task.
  • Flexibility; we are right now stuck at 4 levels of classification; project; Story, Task, Comments. If we were able to expand on this, we would be able to role this out faster to other departments within our business.
