"Leankit has been easy to use, and a great fit for our use case."

4/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

I like the customizable pipelines and the ability to share cards between boards. Child cards have been very useful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

I wish there was a place to view all of the cards assigned to me across boards. This is a pretty important feature when working across multiple boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

It is a streamlined platform with simple features, but the customization makes it powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We plan our weekly sprints as well as product roadmaps with Leankit. We've been able to stay organized and insync. Leankit guides our meeting conversations as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Eco-friendly Kanban"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

Task visualization & collaboration: This is the new age of post-its. It's a great way to collaborate on team tasks, to define owners and due dates. Color coding and icons help team members visualize activities and any dependencies or block that could be preventing progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

Clunky metric reporting - some metric reports we run rely on searching for scope or icon information. Here capitalization matters, and when you have over 200 users - it's hard to make sure they are all using the appropriate spelling or tags. There are also limitations to tracking comment information or history when cards get deleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

This is a great tool my team uses to track SAFe stories and dependencies. I enjoy using the visual platform to track assigned tasks, completion dates, and anything that may be causing a block or delay. This tool is working well for our development projects, so far we have not collected enough data to determine if this is actually keeping us on track, but it is helping prevent scope creep and prioritize resource utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use this software to help us implement SAFe Agile team tracking - this has supported our development engineering teams to help maintain project schedules and minimize scope creep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use as long as your team enforces it and explains the purpose"

4/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

Very easy to use and has a great visual interface that works perfectly for designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

A little bit of a dated design, could be a little less cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

As long as you explain the value to your team when you're starting the project (i.e. why we're switching/using LeanKit, what it can do for the team, and how it helps, etc.) and enforce it along the way (make sure people are working off their cards and nothing else) it works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LeanKit helped every member of the design team know exactly what they owned within a banking project we recently performed. It allowed every member to have a very efficient checklist to prevent any overlap, and helped collect client feedback easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Kanban, but metrics should be way better for its price"

2/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

One thing I really like in Leankit is the Kanban. Really easy to customize and use, I was able to do whatever I wanted to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

The dashboards and metrics. Even though they exist, they are a terrible experience to use. I still manually use my spreadsheets to generate real metrics, because I cannot customize the extraction the way I want (and honestly, if I can do in a spreadsheet, it is not Rocket Science). Already reached Leankit 6 months ago and nothing so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Leankit review"

3/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

Leankit allows for individual of tracking and status updates by grouping and projects with high visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

Teams have not figured out how to assign actions to individuals. It would be beneficial to assign actions and have automatic reminders sent out for completion of action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple tool but that's the point"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

The simplicity of LeanKit is the most positive aspect of the product. It is meant to keep track of the Kanban Cards in a Lean process, and it does so with no special bells and whistles - it just Works. You are free to add / modify comments to Cards as you like, you can combine tasks into a single Card and so on. Simple and shareable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

The help text is not complete: It does not explain all fields and their use, which is a pity.Also, the systems can sometimes feel slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workflow zen!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

The ability to create flexible and visual, Kanban based workflows. And see the flow of cards through a complex workflow with main and substages. Simple and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

Nothing really. I started to type it would be nice to have a more traditional excel / vertical nesting gantt chart view of the workflow and tasks. However, this would negate the main power of exposing exactly this type of traditional approach in the visual Kanban board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

Use the free demo and have a play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Learning product development. Managing large volumes of content items (500+) and types (PDF, Video, Questions) through a fixed step process. Main benefit? Capturing all of the items in a ready to start lane/backlog. But then focusing only on those cards that are active. The backlog provides confidence that the work is captured, but only having the active cards in the workflow improves clarity and speed of group status updates massively.

"Great Visual Tool"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Planview AgilePlace?

You can quickly see what phase a project is in when glancing at the board. I also like the ability to take meeting notes right on the card, during the meeting. Being able to add tasks or multiple uses keeps projects well organized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AgilePlace?

There are some minor formatting things that can't be done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AgilePlace:

Be creative when setting it up. We started with a base template and then changed it around to better suit our needs. We. also looked at the layouts other teams are using to have other opinions of the set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

tracking projects and BAU are easier with Lean Kit. Should Senior Management choose to join a stand up, they can easily pick a project to review based on the few key elements noted on the card. Updating the cards with meeting notes and milestones keep a running story of what is happening when and who the performers are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
