Being able to depend on Scrum management is key."

"It needs to be more comprehensive."
"The setup and scalability can be somewhat difficult for new users until they gain knowledge."
"Its user experience can be improved while configuring it. Its reporting can also be better. Reporting is not very easy. Reports do not always work.
