Release forecast screen, among several other dashboards

A great tool for collaborative teams!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used it to collate my reports and project management tasks. One of the main business problems the platform solves was giving the same live environment to reports, KPI dashboards, and tasks. The best example of this was the agency dashboard that we used to keep our team updated on tasks and the management involved in terms of KPIs and metrics of the ongoing campaigns.

Pros

  • Collaborative dashboard to get data from other integrations.
  • The user experience was really easy and effective.
  • It is really cost effective compared to some of the other similar platforms out there.

Cons

  • I feel there is room for improvement when it comes to supporting guides, knowledge centers.
  • Also, customer support options might a good resource to have.
  • I have always liked tools that show what similar teams are doing to use the tool. Like a case study. I did not find that here.

Most Important Features

  • Basic features and integration options.
  • Cost effective.
  • Free trial.

Return on Investment

Screenful is well suited for Jira Sprint Planning Visualisations

  • Milestone completion.
  • Team task allocation and man hours spent.

Most Important Features

  • Interactive visualisations.
  • Ability to export as image, csv, etc.
