Agile

Comments: In my past 14 years in software industry, I have used various PM tools. By far, PlanBox has been the best tool for my company. I run a software consulting company called Novelty Technology (www.noveltytechnology.com) and I needed a tool to manage all my clients, projects and my [offshore] development team. Because of diverse people with diverse technical background that were involved in my projects, I needed that perfect tool that was simple to use, agile and easy to collaborate. I signed up for PlanBox two years ago and both my clients and dev team love it. I stated out with 5 users and now I have 30+ users. It has saved time and doubled my productivity.

Comments: Its fun to work in Agile since everyone works in same location and its result oriented approach

Pros: Result oriented approach
Phase by phase deliverable are present for end users
Less money wasted on big projects

Cons: Learning curve is more
Hard to convince people who are in SDLC life cycles for long time
Some tasks are more complicated compared to SDLC

Comments: Planbox is an agile project management tool that is simple to use and very powerful. This isn't your typical agile tool, it does a lot more. Believe me, we have been using planbox for several months now and we will never go back to what we used to do before planbox. Easy to use even as agile beginners, support is incredible. Great information is provided to get things started. It was easy for our team to get on board and use the tool and the feedback from my teams have been great. This makes it much easier for us to work together as a team. If you have a team managing multiple projects this is definitely a tool worth considering. The tool easily helps you plan and manage several iterations. My team loves using it and it has improved our productivity. It has improved the way we work and we will continue to use planbox. Overall this is a fantastic product with great features and support. I highly recommend it!

Pros: Incredibly easy to use
Many great features that help you manage with ease
Great reporting that is available out of the box
Intuitive for agile beginners and experts alike

Cons: If you like the status quo this is not the right solution for you
Nothing more to say we love this tool

Comments: Being the Process Engineer for 3 companies, helped for me to realize that we needed a common repository for our "action items". When I researched Planbox, it was with just a couple of us as users. Then we expanded to 10 users, and now we are rapidly approaching 50 users! It's easy to train towards, and the extremely helpful support staff has been paramount with the successful roll-out of this application to our managers.

Pros: Intuitive layout
Constant updates
Open to suggestions
Easy to use

Cons: More reporting functionality... the support staff has assured me they have custom reporting available within the end the of year though.

Comments: After an evaluation of different PM tools (with focus: agile/SCRUM) we decided to go with Planbox. Main reason was the extremely easy user interface which gives all team members a quick start. If people don't accept a tool, e.g. because it's too complex, it's a nightmare.
What we also like a lot was the chance to create single tasks in a sprint with related subtasks. Each subtask can be assigned to a certain team member. As a scrum master you keep a very good overview about what's going on (who is working on which task etc.).

Pros: - web user interface simple and easy to understand (your team can start without getting trained before)
- agile/SCRUM approach is supported very well
- sprint with tasks and subtasks (which can be assigned to team members)

Cons: - no native app (iOS/Android)
- mobile website needs an upgrade
