Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
VersionOne is what our teams use track stories and plan our sprints across over 25 sprint teams in multiple locations including Seattle, WA, San Francisco, CA, San Jose, CA, Ottawa, Canada, and Bucharest, Romania. Using VersionOne we are able to plan and coordinate to deliver our complex solution to our customers.
Pros
- VersionOne makes it easy to create stories and move them across teams, as needed.
- VersionOne's team view gives the team a clear view of the work to be done, work in progress, and work completed. This is particularly useful to have as a visual aid in stand ups or during reviews.
- VersionOne allows the team to track capacity and work for each story which is useful to determining if the story is still on track.
Cons
- 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
VersionOne is fairly well suited for Scrum, but it is not useful for Kanban.
