    Really great tool with continual improvement

    I really like the way it allows us to collaborate on stories, releases, and epics. Integrating with Jira is a very nice feature that is better and better with new releases. Also, adding an "undo" feature has been 100% excellent.

    Pros:
    I like the collaboration between team members as well as between teams and clients. It solves the problem of telling the release/estimate story in a way that the client can have some influence!
    Cons:
    User management is a bit tough. Even as an admin, adding yourself to an existing board makes it necessary to go find a different user management area, which is always strange.

    Reasons for switching to StoriesOnBoard

    Needed more estimating features without complicated plugins.

    Stories on Board is an integral part of our Agile Cycle

    5

    When writing enterprise software, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be tracked. Tracking them can get complicated and there are tools that can help that. There are a couple of tools I would never want to build software without and Stories on Board tops the list.We spent some time during our agile transformation not using story mapping, then did it manually. After some time we decided to evaluate different story mapping vendors and decided on one that worked the best for everything we needed (which was Stories on Board). All things considered the time and money we saved being able to actively collaborate using these tools and directly push the results into jira far outweighed what we were doing with our manual approach, and prevented errors as well.

    Pros:
    I think anybody familiar with and who has effectively utilized story mapping in their development process may find this question rhetorical. Just in case though, my top two would be the collaborative story mapping functionality and second the road mapping and project reporting functionality that it also contains.
    Cons:
    There's not much that I don't like about the software actually. Anything I've found that didn't feel right on the application I've sent directly to their support and they've addressed it right away, so its hard to find anything to write up here as a con.

    Reasons for choosing StoriesOnBoard

    ease of use, fluidity, ease of integration with jira, overall look and feel

    Versatile Dedicated Tool for Product Management

    5

    I started using StoriesOnBoard in an early stage of its life cycle, when it was a mediocre to good solution for user story mapping, but the only dedicated solution for this method. I am impressed by the development the software has taken since then, becoming a comprehensive product management platform and also being flexible enough for other use cases - e.g. I once conceived the structure for a non-fiction book with it and managed the writing process with it.

    I would have normally said the visual design aesthetics could have been improved but the latest set of updates have made a drastic difference. I wish the integration between JIRA & StoriesOnBoard would be more robust for Nextgen projects.

    Reasons for choosing StoriesOnBoard

    Keyboard shortcuts! It's much more conducive for a power user.

    Vendor Response

    Hi David, thank you very much for your feedback on our tool. Actually, we have just made story map creation a lot easier from JIRA projects, but unfortunately Nextgen projects are not supported by this feature. We're sorry that we can offer you a better solution for that, yet, but we'll definitely consider possible solutions. We hope you still find value in using the tool. Regards, The StoriesOnBoard Team

    I only have 2 tools I consider essential for my job, and storiesonboard is one of them!

    Story mapping is the most massively useful technique I know for visualising any sort of project or process. I’ve been using StoriesOnBoard for over 6 years now, and I couldn’t imagine a better, more user-friendly tool (and it kept improving all the time!)But not only is their product great, their customer service is truly top-notch! When I switched companies, I asked them if they could maybe extend my free license while I try to convince my new mgmt. to start using StoriesOnBoard.Immediate personal response, useful demo’s, actual hands on help in setting up new features, extending my personal license for free while I’m convincing mgmt. at my new job to pay for it 😊 chef’s kiss!

    Pros:
    Story mapping as a technique is meant to create shared understanding through externalized thinking. The way that storiesonboard supports this so fluently is what I like most about it. When I ask someone to explain their project, I can visualize what they're saying at the speed that they are explaining it. It's that easy to use.I use it to visually map any kind of project I'm involved in. From large scale software projects to planning my own home rennovations.When working with clients, it was the starting point to visualise the scope, the board to give context for estimations, the basis for a client offer and the overview to track progress once we started.
    Cons:
    Only a minor remark, but the export to excel - while perfectly servicable - could be improved. In particular, the fact that it exports some content to comments instead of new columns.One integration I'm hoping for is the ability to embed a story map in a whiteboarding tool - such as Miro - to visually group even more relevant information around the map itself.

    Takes the pain out of sprint 0 and keeping your high-level vision in focus

    I love this product! As a consultant product owner it brings sanity to an often crazy process of prioritizing an upcoming build phase. I have also had multiple good interactions with the support team when something isn't working right, as well as direct access with the engineering team to request new features.

    Pros:
    Stories on board doesn't do everything, and that's why I love it. What it does it does very well and that is giving you a high-level view of your features and epics and a place to work on planning and grooming stories before they go into a build. I use it extensively to drop in features, stories, and tasks that are needed for a product build, often times before the structure of the build is fully realized. Once in the tool you can move stories around easily, split them if they're too big, combine similar stories together, and then push stories to Jira for managing sprints, and pulling the backlog from Jira to organize into upcoming sprints and releases.
    Cons:
    As of this writing, there are two features that I need to make my life easier. 1. Stories on Board only connects to one instance of Jira, which is fine for product companies, but is insufficient for consulting shops that may use their own Jira as well as client Jira instances. Support for multiple Jira instances is on the roadmap, and I can't wait until it's there. 2. Swimlanes in Stories on Board represent releases in Jira, and I want to also have sprint-level swimlanes. There's an easy workaround to just use releases called Sprint 1, Sprint 2, etc, and that works, but is a bit more work than if it were a natively supported feature.

    Vendor Response

    Hi JT, Thank you so much for your review on StoriesOnBoard. We know the JIRA integration is a big one and we're trying to improve it regularly. We really appreciate your input regarding swimlanes. Cheers, The Storiesonboard Team
