I find that Planview AgilePlace is particularly well-suited for teams that are already familiar with agile project management principles and practices.The platform is also a good fit for organizations that have a mix of agile and traditional projects. I think Planview AgilePlace is a great value for the price. The platform offers a lot of features and functionality that are not available in other tools at the same price point.

AgilePlace is great for individual work tracking. I personally love that I can use it to track project-based work as well as my own personal daily tasks. It really covers all bases in my opinion.

This tool enables the visual management needed in many offshore teams to easily and quickly see the pending work, work in progress and completed work.For teams that work with a waterfall methodology and do not have AGILE internalized, I believe there are other solutions from Planview or other providers.

Agile Place is great for Program management/execution as it gives you a view into your dev teams who maybe using Jira

Admin functionality could be improved regarding board management its very easy to accumulate boards at all levels and sometimes its how to distinguish which ones are active from those that aren't. Beef up the home interface.

AgilePlace is a great way for teams, or individuals, to bring visibility to the work in process and in their backlog. The color coding and icon use helps to quickly analyze the type of work or status of the work. The product team is doing a good job at listening to their user's feedback and implementing improvements. Where it falls short is when reporting needs to occur.

Best: AgilePlace is optimal for teams who have long-term projects they're working towards. The application's functionality thrives when individuals are using parent/child cards, subtasks, etc. This allows a project manager or director level leadership to quickly get a glance of what the status of the project is. Visual cues allow for information to be digestible without being overwhelming.

Least Successful: Teams who work in a customer service role, such as an IT service desk, are not ideal users for this tool. They are already working in an ITSM software for their ticketing queues, we do not want to have the associates duplicate their work by creating an interface from that ticketing system to AgilePlace to create tickets. We attempted this once, but quickly abandoned it.

Planview LeanKit excels in any scenario where you need to visualize and organize work to be done. You can feasible even use it as a personal to-do application. We use it as a way to keep track of our current topics in management meetings as well as a Scrumban implementation of project management.

However, when processes and work is very file- and data-heavy, using Planview LeanKit is less appropriate as there's just not way of doing a sensible file management.

LeanKit allows to build a Kanban board in minutes, customize board, drag-and-drop cards across lanes, add comments and documents, implement Work in Progress limits, and easily update the team on the status of a project. It allows us to gain full visibility of different team’s work and eliminate miscommunications and unnecessary handoff delays. LeanKit has great filter options so each user is able to easily manage their tasks without being distracted by items that are not important to them.

LeanKit gets the job done

LeanKit is well suited for smaller teams looking for a flexible tool to track multiple projects. The different options you have for board creation make it easy to fit almost any scrum/kanban process into the company's custom process.

For more traditional or rigid agile methodologies, a product like VersionOne may be the better choice.

I loved it for the hiring pipeline. Kept that simple process organized and in check. However, it's very hard to modify the template and there are other comparable tools, often free, that do the same job but are much easier to customize. I think this tool works if you have repeated steps you want to follow. Not as great for free-form.

My team interfaces with IT Operations often. There are a lot of people that need to handle several projects and remediation/unplanned changes. LeanKit is helpful for that. You can link and reference cards across boards, so you aren't tracking the same thing across several different boards.

Not as sleek as Asana

Good if you are working with a team and are very organized. Also good if you are a project manager and need to be able to see what everyone is working on at a glance. Not so good for teams that don't have the bandwidth to be able to update a tool like this regularly and keep it organized. It's only as good as you're willing to make it.

LeanKit works well if you want a powerful, customizable kanban board system for organizing tasks with a team. It allows for nesting lanes for advanced organization, and even cards within cards. Each card can capture a lot of information and allows for comments. For many people, LeanKit is probably a bit more powerful than they need for a simple task system.

Good for any organization that needs to keep track of projects and their progress within a team. Especially lends itself to KanBan/Agile dev styles. To be honest, I feel like there are a lot of alternatives to LeanKit. However, the effectiveness of the tool is really based on personal preferences.

Good for when you are trying to organize people around a collaborative project. For example, we had a large rebrand project for the company and leankit was instrumental in helping different people create tasks and assign them to others.
I think for individual use, LeanKit may or may not have too many bells and whistles, especially for keeping track of simple tasks.

It is well suited for being Agile and progression of stories and ease of use.
Providing general information (requirements) can be done using tasks but you then have to drill down into those tasks for information and comments.
