VivifyScrum Software

A solution that I searched for and finally found.

Pros

It is easy to use and it is intuitive. The gui is very simple to understand and it's not hard to teach others the principles of scrum and kanban with this software.

Cons

I don't really have a dislike. It's fit all my. Needs

Vivifyscrum review

Pros

It is a SAAS solution for agile project management and collaboration. It is extremely intuitive and user friendly. Invoicing features are good. Collaboration boards are helpful for project management

Cons

Learning curve is steep. Needs lots of reading and practice

Great collaboration tool

Vivify Scrum wasn't my first choice, but my colleague strongly suggested to use it. When I adopted i started to really like it and use it in my other projects. It is intuitive, visual, and easy to use. It gives you all the information about the project, team, tasks... Time tracker is also a great addition. And since we charge hourly, it is pretty cool that you can create an invoice based on your time recorded from time tracker. The premium plan is very affordable considering all the features.

Pros

It is well organized, and gives you a nice and clear view on your tasks and your team members activity. There are some cool features.

Cons

I thought that it is free (and there is a free version) but some features I really liked during the trial are only available in the premium version.

Excellent agile tool in market..

Maintaining Product's backlog was an over head earlier, and managing the human resource velocity for each Project was real problem earlier, Now it seems so easy.

Pros

Vivifyscrum is an excellent user friendly and very intuitive agile project management tool.
Featuers which I liked most in this software is the User Interface layout which is very easy for any new bie to get started in no time.
My team uses drag and drop feature to move the items from BackLog to sprint Backlog and mark them "In Progress" to "Done" so quickly.
Planning sprint looks so easy using this software.
The over head of updating the worklog reporting time is almost zero because of user friendly interface which makes my team happily use this software, compared to other tools which were an over head.
Graphical representation of team's utilisation provides a complete productivity in pictorial format which is great feature to look at the end of sprint.

Cons

I think, Project's role in vivifyscrum is not clearly utilised.

VivifyScrum tool help me track my projects

Pros

Easy to use
Easily accessible options
Clean to track status without wasting too much time

Cons

Nothing. Well, maybe the free tier could be a bit extended by number of users for moderately small teams.

Cool scrum tool

Pros

Really easy to use, this is a perfect tool for a startup.

Cons

Maybe some glitches as this is a new product on each release

Nice kanbaan board

Its simple and straightforward. easy to use. but need more features like atlassian.

Pros

Nice ease to use kanbaan board. userfriendly and self explanatory flow.

Cons

new exe every update. need web based access. need more custom fields

Great UI - effective Scrum Tool

Used as our Scrum planning & co-ordination tool

Pros

The most easy to use & effortless UI amongst Scrum tools

Cons

Not our company's official Scrum tools. And with Trello being not bad + semi-official - we use that more now

VivifyScrum

For me, it was a great way to recollect information, get new tips and have fun will traveling through Scrummuray gamified platform.

Pros

The way it is resumed. It is good for staters and for practicing Scum Concepts.

Cons

No comments. It was all good. Maybe in the future, some scrum tips and videos would be great

Great progression board for any project

Pros

I used this mainly for my software development projects. Really easy to use and very innovative. There is this cool graph where it shows how your work is going and how it is supposed to go. It is a time track tool to make sure you are completing tasks and finishing them on time. The graph tool is my favorite tool.

Cons

It took some time learning how to use and become a scrum master. I had to read a lot prior to using this software to really familiarize myself with the whole concept. But once you have it down it is a beautiful tool to have.

A product that caters to true Scrum.

In trying to find solutions for my clients who rely on Scrum, I discovered VivifyScrum and decided to take it for a test-drive. I am truly impressed with its true Scrum approach without trying too hard to be something else. It is functional and truly effective and has all that one needs to keep a Scrum team on track. It handles all aspects of development, including bugs and testing, something some simpler applications cannot accommodate.

Pros

VivifyScrum is built with Scrum at its foundation. It allows you to select from a Kanban or Scrum view as well. It's default settings reflects its Scrum roots with columns for Backlog, To Do, In Progress and Done. Need to customize it a bit? You can add more columns as needed. It employs estimations for stories and provides a host of functions for each card: commenting, file attachments, priorities, sub-items (tasks), lists, events, tags and more. Everything to keep a project running on Scrum efficiently. VivifyScrum also provides all the Scrum artifacts including burndown charts and velocity. Need to control how the teams have access? this is also managed, with various accessibility levels that reflect true Scrum ownership in projects. Planning poker is even included. VivifyScrum has just the right balance of customization features without overdoing it. Everything you need to run Scrum is there. Or, at least, the majority.

Cons

I would have loved to have seen a feature that takes retrospectives into account. This often overlooked ceremony in Scrum is essential to improving team performance, and I have only seen it in only a couple of other project management applications. But not VivifyScrum. Features that are not included in your subscription level are still visible, making you believe they are active until you click on them and see a pop-up asking you to upgrade. Would be nice if they are disabled or have an indicator that they are not part of a trial version for new users.

Easy to use, enough information

Graphical representation of the work been done and to do Maintain well and current informed all the members of the team References to formal requirements, development and implementation documents

Pros

Simple interface that allows to capture enough information without over saturating the screen for a clean understanding of the task

Cons

Seems slow when updating/refreshing screens
Moving cards up and down is a bit tedious, moves to fast so ordering items by priority is a bit hard
A bit confusing when different windows open clicking on the different card elements like card title or on the card code

UI looks nice but

Keeping track of todo items

Pros

Free to start using, reasonable limits on free functionality. Has most of the features we need, comments, checklists, scrum boards, sprint management, etc. Visually attractive UI.

Cons

Mobile functionality and UI is very poor. UI of the desktop site is clunky to use despite being visually attractive. Navigation is not user-friendly, some elements are auto-saving others are not, creating an inconsistent user experience. Email notifications or browser notifications link you to a confusing page from which you can't actually access the details of the item you were notified about nor can you see what was changed.

Visual and reliable

Pros

The fact that the application is quite smooth and light for a tool like that. It does what you want efficiently.

Cons

I think we need to add more feature. For example we can add the story point total for the sprint and when we reach this limit, the application notice us.

Very good. Useful for little or not so complex projects

An agile board at a reasonable price

Pros

The agile board with ticket types, points and sprint management. This is the main feature I was searching for

Cons

The search field is overall unusable and does not work as expected. This is a big problem in long lasting projects where history is a valuable thing

It was awesome and I got to learn how to plan and stay on top of my projects

I am now more organized than ever.

Pros

Project simplification, followup and ease of execution. From day one, it helps you itemized your work, follow it up, monitor progress and measure performance.

Cons

Interface looks archaic. I wanted something that looks more dynamic and aesthetic like "slack" interface. Borrow a leaf from the way google designs their products

My experience has been only positive. VivifyScrum provides a LOT of features and a reasonable price.

Extremely easy to use and very powerful in helping to organize and administer a software development project.

Pros

I use the software daily to weekly. The software is very user friendly and laid out in a logical fashion. Their free version is very generous and provides a great look at the software's capabilities for an unlimited time (based upon how many cards you add). The concise and full card view is very useful for fitting as many cards on a screen as possible.

Cons

I would like to be able to filter out items marked Done from displaying in a sprint. I sent this as a request and received a quick response. I suspect that this feature will be in the new release in September. I would like checkmarks that indicate Done items to always appear in the same place on a card and to be a different color than green so that they stand out a bit more.

Easy to use in a small team

Overview of tasks, spend hours and due date

Pros

Easy to use,
Looks and feels good,
Good overview when in multiple projects
Good overview in sprints
Sprints are easy to define.
Planning Poker

Cons

Not all Scrum items are implemented.
Like hours to go is a bit vague.
Still a few bugs in the software, like in the planning poker.
User picture can't be magnified.
Unfinished stories won't be put into the next sprint when the sprint is finished.

Nice work !

Continue like that and impress me.

Pros

I like the simplicity of this application, it's really easy to use and we can work with a team with efficacity.

Cons

The user rights are not precise enough. They are sufficient for developers teams but not really enough for big companies.

Huge functionality, we break the surface of using

We are an Educational Technology department that uses the software for our personal and group projects. It is great to keep track of our multiple tasks, but we also realize it is not being used to its fullest potential.

Pros

Fairly easy to use

Cons

Not really using its full functionality, as we are not specifically the target audience for the product.
