Pawel Brodzinski: Portfolio Management with Kanban

Introduction by Planview AgilePlace COO Jon Terry As many of you know, we’ve been working for a while to develop a new version of Planview AgilePlace that, among other things, will allow our customers to manage their enterprise projects and portfolio with a hierarchy of multiple levels of kanban boards. Some of you might have seen...

Bringing Kanban to the Federal Market Space

As citizens and taxpayers, I’m sure we all like to see our governments working to become more efficient and effective. And here at Planview AgilePlace, we’re obviously pretty bought-in to the idea that applying Lean-Agile to an organization’s operations can bring dramatic productivity improvements. So, we’ve been excited this past year to see strong signs that people...

Handling Groups whose Problems are Giving you Problems

Introduction by Planview AgilePlace COO Jon Terry We know — we geek out a lot about people using us for construction, or manufacturing, or logistics, or auto repair, or talent management or whatever. Our business at Planview AgilePlace really has spread quite a bit beyond our software development management roots by now. But, we still recognize that our...

File Attachments for Kanban Boards

Well, we finally did it. Planview AgilePlace now has file attachments. When we first started out, our corporate clients were a little leery of this whole SaaS thingy. They weren’t too sure if they liked their sticky notes being online instead of being on a wall, safely in the office. But they told us they definitely didn’t...

All Estimation is Waste – Rubbish!

Guest post: Troy Magennis of Focused Objective As long-time IT professionals ourselves, we at Planview AgilePlace understand the pain of being asked for detailed estimates about things we’ve never done and may never do.

Planview AgilePlace Kanban API & Wrappers

As we mentioned in an earlier post, our customers have integrated Planview AgilePlace with many different kinds of systems. And we provide services to develop integrations if you don’t have the time or inclination to do this yourself. But, if you do want to develop your own integration, read this article about our API in the Planview AgilePlace Knowledge...

About WIP Limits and Card Size

One of the new features just released in Planview AgilePlace Kanban is the ability to specify WIP Limits by Card “Size”, instead of the number of Cards in a lane. Earlier this week, after announcing this feature, I got a couple of “Really?” emails like this one, from Arne Roock: Chris, just saw your new features. Most of them...

Introducing Board Cloning! And more!

We are excited to announce a new set of features for our Team Edition based on ideas coming from our best source – you – our customers. We think you’ll agree that these features help move Kanban from the team level to the enterprise, while still retaining our trademark ease-of-use. And just wait ’til you see some...
