Love AgilePlace - helping us being efficient
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our Organization is currently using AgilePlace to track team deliverables for each team. Ability to customize swim lanes has given different teams the flexibility to use AgilePlace to be used across different verticals like IT Operations, SAFe, Software Development, Strategy & Execution and much more.
AgilePlace has certainly made the Agile ways of working easier with better visibility of backlogs, approved work, work in progress, etc. On top of that, creating parent child relationships across different boards, makes it a great tool to work with orchestrate layers of work.

Jira Align
A nice tool to have in order to help teams be informed of tasks in process and in the backlog
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Currently we use AgilePlace to visually see the tasks/initiatives that a team is responsible for. This is typically specifically to one team and is not work that crosses teams, at this time. This ensures that we are aware of all tasks/initiatives that are currently in flight along with what is in the backlog. Prior to AgilePlace some teams captured this information in Excel or Sharepoint. This left issues for true collaboration, easy visibility along with capturing supporting documentation.
Pros
- Visual kanban board that is easy to customize as the team's needs change
- Real time collaboration allowing teams working remotely to stay up to date on current status
- Allows versatility for how a team needs to capture details on the work at hand by utilizing card icons, card types and custom data points
- Card scoring is easy to setup and provides the team the ability to set values to better prioritize their backlog
- Ability to add card automation to take out some of the repetitive manual actions
Cons
- Ability to create & access in app reporting
- Better administration of setting up & updating user access to boards
Return on Investment
- The implementation of AgilePlace for team activity/initiative tracking has made our teams more productive and aware of business needs.
