Kanban Software – Easy To Use Custom Kanban Boards

Manage Scrum and Kanban in one tool

With some teams practicing Scrum and others choosing Kanban, it can be challenging for managers to get a clear, integrated view of status across all projects. VersionOne makes it easy to manage all your projects in a single tool without sacrificing cross-project visibility and consolidated reporting. Whether your teams are practicing "Scrumban" or lean methods within iterations, VersionOne provides the Kanban capabilities to help teams visualize and manage their workflow processes.

Visualize Your Workflow with Custom Kanban Boards

Create custom Kanban boards using named columns to illustrate each stage of your workflow process, and an expedite track for high priority items. Work items are visually represented using story cards and can be pulled from your prioritized queue and moved through the workflow easily using drag-and-drop.

Real-Time Visibility for the Entire Team

Virtualizing your Kanban board with VersionOne provides real-time visibility for the entire team with full accessibility for remote members. See at a glance what work items are in progress and where they are in your development process, using status indicators to show if an item is blocked or held up in a wait queue.

Limit Your Team’s Work in Progress (WIP)
Set explicit limits to determine how many items are in progress during each workflow stage. VersionOne helps you avoid having too many items in progress at any one time, highlighting when

reporting capabilities. The ability to track cycle time metrics gives visibility into past performance to help you increase the predictability of your delivery and drive continuous process improvement.

Discover and Resolve Bottlenecks
Identify and resolve bottlenecks using
Cumulative Flow
The Cumulative Flow diagram provides a graphic depiction of how work items are moving through various statuses on the way to being “Done”. It shows the total scope of a project, grouped by status, and thus lets us know how much of that scope is in a particular status at a given time.
reports to see how well items are flowing through your process. Determine where work is stalled and where you should focus improvement efforts.

Visualize Complex Workflow Processes

Build visual models of your workflow processes quickly and easily, no matter how complex. Add lanes and sub-lanes to represent multiple layers of sub-processes, different teams, parallel work, class of service and buffer lanes.

Improve Your Performance

Measure your team's efficiency, identify problems before they happen and predict future performance. Reports include cumulative flow, lead and cycle time, process efficiency, work distribution and burn-up forecasting.
