Agilebuddy’s Scrum tools provide complete realtime visibility for all members of the development team, management team and stakeholders. Information radiators including burndown charts, burnup charts, team charts, status feeds and calendars are visible and instantly updated providing constant and accurate feedback. Viewing the sprint backlog, you can scroll through user stories, bugs, blockers and more to see what the development team is working on. Using Agilebuddy’s unique Activity Tracker, the entire team is kept in sync, receiving contextual status updates on all changes in the project every step of the way.

2. Creates a central location for teams to gather and collaborate

Constant communication and collaboration are the key driving factors for success with Scrum. Unfortunately teams are not always able to be co-located. Now with Agilebuddy teams working from more than one location can realize all the upside of a centralized Scrum tool. Agilebuddy provides instant feedback with scrum tools that include a social media inspired real-time Status Feed, Activity Tracker and unique simplified Messaging System for more effective contextual communication between members.

3. Unparalleled Ease of Use

Painstaking effort went into the design of the user interface. Every feature is designed with a specific goal in mind. “The plan from the outset was that users should be able to start using Agilebuddy without any formal training or user manual”. As an example, “blank-slate” help guides you through the process of setting up your first project and building the backlog.

Navigation is simple and effortless – every feature is no more than 2 click’s away. Even the more complex activities like estimating have been designed with unparalleled ease-of-use. Agilebuddy’s unique and innovative estimating interface for example, puts historical data from previous sprints right at your fingertips for immediate reference while estimating new user stories. Completed estimates are then sorted into story point “buckets” making it easier to check, resulting in much more accurate estimates

4. Natural and Intuitive User Interface

Tools are meant to simplify tasks but too often project management tools are slow or cumbersome to use. Agilebuddy’s elegant interface is designed to minimize the number of screens each team member needs to work with on a regular basis. Most users can live on one personalized screen to manage all of their updates and collaboration at the same time monitoring the information that is important to keeping the team on track.

5. Keeps organizations agile

Agilebuddy understands the Scrum process and we practice what we preach. From the third week in development, Agilebuddy was used to manage its own iterations and releases. We listen to our customers and new features, integrations and updates are released every two weeks ensuring that your investment is safe today with the knowledge that the product will grow with you into the future.
