"Intuitive software that increases throughput!"

5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

I like how easy and fun it is to move cards to done and track your progress on projects that deliver value to users. You can create cards quickly, fill in more details, classify them according to type of work/value, assign them to one or more team members, get notifications on progress, attach files for reference, and much more. It's a simple, clean design but powerful underneath. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

The hyperlinks in card comments do not look like hyperlinks until you hover over them, and URLs are not automatically rendered as clickable links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

Learn about Lean/Agile first and make sure your whole team understands the lean concepts of sequencing, focusing on chunks of value rather than focusing on chunks of work, etc. The ideas have to be there for the tool to make any sense. However, if you are already striving to be a lean/agile team, use LeanKit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to struggle to prioritize tasks and keep track of the goal (rather than just the work). Now, my teammates and I have a weekly Monday planning meeting where we queue up the cards we are going to work on this week and coordinate our goals, and a weekly Friday meeting to celebrate the cards we moved to DONE. We discuss what we should be doing, how it creates value for our customers, and what should be prioritized over what.

I used to just check off tasks in whatever order I thought best, but now the team works together to create value. It sounds like a subtle shift, but it has made a world of difference in my department and beyond. Leankit has facilitated that. Cards on a customizable board, quite simply, work better to get things finished and keep the right mindset than tasks on a checklist. It's simple, powerful, almost magical.

Notes:

1) There are probably many wrong ways of using LeanKit that wouldn't generate these results. It's the Lean/Agile methodology that really makes the difference, but Leankit makes it much easier to stay lean/agile in your daily work.

2) Full disclosure: I happen to be closely related to a Planview LeanKit employee, but I do actually use LeanKit for work on a daily basis and have noticed an enormous difference since starting to use it. The opinions in this review are still my honest opinions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LeanKit Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

I love how sleek the design is. Everything is easy to find on the project, and easily categorized. We use LeanKit for developers during our releases to keep track of their tasks, and for our services team to assign deployments. It is easy to use for both use cases and easy for our team to keep track of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

We use LeanKit by putting 'Card Type' as the person who is assigned to a given card, and any helpers are added as 'Assigned Users'. This can get confusing because we wish that we could terminology change the 'Card Type' to 'Assigned Users' and 'Assigned Users' to 'Additional Users' or 'Helpers' or something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

Definitely use LeanKit! We love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use LeanKit for release cards when we push out software releases, as well as assigning projects to our users. It makes it very easy for our users to know who is assigned to what subjects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"a single platform for the complete status view of the entire business deliverables."

5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

Personally I like the idea of having a consolidated status view , which provides the persons from management a holistic view of the entire deliverables and we could rapidly integrate the same in our opportunities and risk areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

Even though the experience is very good, however, there is always a scope for improvement. Some more documentation and hierarchy could be made, to further enhance its utilization at different levels of organization and thus achieve a more collaborative and agile way of working while using the leankit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

I would like to strongly recommend the usage of Leankit by Planview for managing the projects and business deliveries in more agile and scrum format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

My core area is program management, which means I have to track a lot of different projects, which are working at different levels. The Leankit provides me an opportunity to integrate the outcomes and life cycles of all my projects in a single board of Leankit and thus getting timely update from a single view.

"LeanKit is okay"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

The best thing about it and how our department uses LeanKit is more like a to-do list. When cards are created and added to our boards we have a visual representation of what needs to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

The major dislike (and honestly, why our department doesn't care to use it) is because LeanKit doesn't have enough granularity with its filters; or I should say, the option to save filters. Our entire department is made up of smaller sub-departments, and each of these have a lead engineer/manager. We have multiple boards to sift through. Not being able to save filters makes traversing boards and cards cumbersome...to the point where it's not worth messing with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

If LeanKit can update the ability to save filters, I believe our department would use this tool far more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

For myself, I primarily use LeanKit to be a visual to-do list. This helps me not forget tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LeanKit review"

4/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

It is easy to use for everybody. The interface is also very clean and nice to look at. It is useful for management and regular users. It gives many options to build your board as you like it. I think it is an easier tool than Jira for example. For people who are new in Agile way of working it is a good starter. It is good that to one card many assigners can be assign and it is easy to change it very fast. It is also an advantage the ability to create several boards on one page, which is good when you have different subprojects and there is no need in swapping from one page to another. It is very convenient I would even say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

The settings are not so developed and it is a pity that once you create a card on your board there is no option to delete it. It can only be put to Archive and this way the board can be easily messed by card which are not in use anymore and are not needed. Maybe there is this option to delete, however, I couldn't find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

It is good option to Jira. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We create some kind of a Kanban Board in LeanKit. It helps us managing our tasks in everyday work. It is also a really good for our Project Manager to see how the project flow is going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Its awesome"

4/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

The operation is easy. The overview is clear. Communication with other participants works very well. You can use the tool across departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

One would have to have more individual influence on the tool. An idea would be a kind of "open source" application in which the user can independently change operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

I had shortlisted LeanKit before 2012 after getting a quick overview of the different tools. I also liked Trello very much, but LeanKit spoke to me immediately. I think it was mainly the possibility to hide backlog and archive and the design possibilities at the lanes, which had done to me. True to the motto "Try it" is about studying so I put my new LeanKit board into operation at the end of April. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

The department can be organized. The department can also be displayed transparently. Projects can be started and transferred to other areas of the company. The possibility to divide horizontally Lanes, I find very helpful. It opens up a wide variety of possibilities in the design of the board and has an extremely positive effect on the clarity! A feature that I definitely do not want to miss anymore!

When it comes to customizing the board structure, I was very pleasantly surprised how good it works on the iPad via the webapp. Only the "Card Styles" can not be adjusted here. The iOS app does not offer this functionality either, but that does not bother you, because you do not always make these adjustments.

The only drawback with the iOS app: The editing works only with Internet connection, which makes it sometimes difficult to use travel times for planning! PRO: WIP limits, design options and notifications make the tool very appealing to me.

iOS App and Webapp are very comfortable to use.

Changes can be made quickly, so no idea is lost.

CON: I would like to be able to use IFTTT because I do not want to spend the cost of Zapier for private purposes.

Regular tasks can not be mastered either.

Both would not be a problem if you could create maps by email. This is the biggest drawback in my opinion! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Leankit from my Perspective"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

I like the ease with which I can work and move projects without any difficulty. Each card in Leankit KANBAN board has all the information that is required and it also has block option which helps me analyse which project was stuck in which lane and what was the reason for the same. This tool helps me in my day to day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

There are some updates that is made which the user will not be made aware of. The user experience changes when you login to the board the next day. This will make the user wonder what changed and how to adopt to the change drastically. Any new updates that is made can be notified to the user (via mail) which will help the user to adopt to the upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build Servers based on the application and requirement given by the application teams. We have created different lanes on the KANBAN board and cards are created with respective information. As the server build progresses we move the respective card created to respective lane and block the cards when there are roadblocks while building the server.

"Lean and Planned "

5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

Being able to manage different types of tasks through cards and boards. Adding comments and being able to upload documents for a card is another great functionality provided by LeanKit. The support to define child cards along with being able to see the history of a card is an added advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

Not being able to mark a card as duplicate as in if two cards have been created for the same purpose there should be a straightforward way to mark a card as duplicate for the other card. Also i found that finding a card which has been archived using its name is quite difficult. There should be some search mechanism which could help in easing this up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

Great product to support Agile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AgilePlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Leankit supports in working with the Agile process. Individuals can see and manage their tasks in a better way. It benefits the scrum master in an Agile process to seamlessly create and assign tasks to team members along with assigning a priority to the task and also due dates. Being able to maintain cards as per the Parent cards is another better way to of managing tasks which are related or tasks which fall under the same category. Another great feature would be being able to block a card until another card has been implemented, which really helps to provide greater clarity in understanding the workflow. Maintaining tags for cards is another great functionality to manage related tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
