Nathan Streyle

Perfect Execution Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

We use the submit feedback button pretty often. I encourage the teams to use that if they see anything that could be improved. But we've been really happy with how fast LeanKit improves. The biggest improvement would be the API and data connections and making the data more accessible or quicker to access. One of our team members has brought up actual-time tracking on a card as a potential improvement. They had an interest in knowing how long a specific card had been worked on by a specific user or somebody that was assigned to that card. But there's not really a way for them to start and stop a time that they were actually working on it, except for if we created a different lane and they dragged it into the lane and then stopped using it in the lane. They requested that there'd be some sort of timer function on each one of the tasks.

Rohan Sankhe

Business Consultant at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees

The most valuable features for us are resource management and financial. Before LeanKit, we were doing project management in Microsoft Project. We were able to plan and schedule in it, but we were not tracking resource allotment or the availability of the resources. We have started to track them now. We are able to do this because the reports that go out to stakeholders and the executive leadership team are richer. This helps us prioritize our entire portfolio and decide which projects we can take and which we need to decrease in priority in order to reassign resources to new, priority projects. LeanKit helps us a lot not just in terms of planning internally but also with making outside people understand why a project is getting delayed or postponed or is going on hold. Because LeanKit is so flexible, our ability to make predictions comes down to educating stakeholders on how the cards work. The card's health feature lets us know whether we need to make adjustments. It gives us an idea if, for example, someone has taken up too many tasks.

PM Systems Analyst at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Every feature is valuable. LeanKit is a Kanban-based tool where you have a visual interface that you can use to create various cards and to create boards to house those cards. You can create a board for managing project work. You can create a board to do PI planning. It is pretty close to the agile way of doing business. The Board Layout Editor is excellent in terms of flexibility. They have been improving its usability. Their development is very much agile, so for any feedback that we give them, they let us know if and when they would act on our request for enhancements or change, and then they make those changes. They are responsive.

Valuable Features

Planview AgilePlace's strengths include Kanban-based visibility and flexibility, allowing users to customize fields, titles, and board layouts. It facilitates efficient progress tracking with board and card hierarchies, enhancing project management through visual tools and color-coded lanes. The platform's readability and reporting capabilities simplify information access, integrating with Power BI for deeper insights. AgilePlace’s API and flexibility support resource management and dependency tracking, improving accountability and productivity while fostering collaboration across teams and departments.

"Adoption across stakeholders and visibility have been the biggest success for us with LeanKit."
"Every feature is valuable. LeanKit is a Kanban-based tool where you have a visual interface that you can use to create various cards and to create boards to house those cards. You can create a board for managing project work. You can create a board to do PI planning. It is pretty close to the agile way of doing business."
"I would say it's highly scalable. LeanKit can scale across the enterprise easily. Every business could probably find a use case for leveraging LeanKit."

Room for Improvement

Planview AgilePlace users express a need for improved scrum functionality, clearer card size interpretation, and recurring card options. Enhancements in reporting, customizable fields, and integration with Enterprise One are desired. Users seek simpler JIRA integration, better API access, and actual time tracking on cards. The Instant Coffee feature lacks refinement. Board layout customization and more icons are also requested. Agile project management features and pricing adjustments are suggested for better alignment with competitors.

"We are a 750-employee company, so we got lucky that our board approved the kind of funding we needed for the solution. But, LeanKit probably needs to reduce its pricing."
"Within the current features, if they can give some ability to show more icons on the card, it would be helpful. It would help us in showing more data on the cards."
"There's room for improvement with the Instant Coffee feature. There are other businesses that have been interested in leveraging a virtual whiteboard or sticky note capability and how Instant Coffee was developed has not met the mark."

ROI

Users indicate a 25% reduction in time spent tracking savings due to its simplicity. Anecdotal benefits are noted, though precise ROI remains undetermined. Licensing structure encourages user retention, valuing accessibility for remote work. Planview AgilePlace aids in demonstrating Agile methodology, which satisfies board pressures. Progress in assessing its impact is ongoing.

Pricing

Enterprise users generally find Planview AgilePlace's pricing and licensing structure reasonable, appreciating the FLEX licensing for its simplicity and comprehensive coverage across applications. Some report costs, such as $22,000 for LeanKit annually, while future expenses might reach $2 million. Many users emphasize satisfaction with the value received relative to the price, noting no hidden costs post-implementation. Setup is often described as straightforward, leading some organizations to enterprise agreements due to positive experiences.

"As far as I understand, it is not an expensive application."
"I don't believe there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I don't know what it would be on its own. It was basically included with what we were already paying or using. So, it was a no-brainer. It wasn't like we had to sell the company on making a purchase or anything like that. There weren't any costs that came in after implementing it."

Popular Use Cases

Planview AgilePlace is primarily used to enhance visibility by integrating Kanban methodologies in task tracking and project management. It's utilized for managing workflows, aligning priorities across teams, tracking agile development, and managing capital projects. Teams employ it for planning, delegating, and tracking work progress. The platform's integration capabilities facilitate seamless collaboration, though concerns exist regarding third-party integration. AgilePlace's SaaS nature ensures consistent version updates across teams, enhancing organizational efficiency and transparency.

Service and Support

Users generally find Planview AgilePlace customer service and support to be responsive and helpful. Technical support is praised for quick response times and effective resolutions. Some have not needed much contact due to the system's stability, while others benefit from regular interactions, webinars, and knowledgeable account representatives. Despite occasional frustration over commitment timelines, customers appreciate the thorough assistance and transparency in communications.

Deployment

Planview AgilePlace's initial setup is straightforward and seamless, with easy integration and configuration. Users find it intuitive, aided by templates and support resources. While transferring from JIRA was effortless for many, some experienced complexity with initial integrations. Organizations appreciated its simplicity, flexibility, and support, making it effective for various teams. Deployments varied from quick implementations to more extended processes, depending on user needs and organizational structure, leading to a wide adoption across different departments.

Scalability

They notice strong performance and scalability, despite some concerns about potential complexity with increased usage. Observations include successful integration with other tools, manageable growth across various departments, and opportunities for further expansion.

Global users, including those in Asia and Europe, have not reported issues. It requires minimal administrative effort but might need more as usage scales.
