Simple and intuitive, useful for agile management, and helpful for planning based on our capacity and meeting our deadlines
Every feature is valuable. LeanKit is a Kanban-based tool where you have a visual interface that you can use to create various cards and to create boards to house those cards. You can create a board for managing project work. You can create a board to do PI planning. It is pretty close to the agile way of doing business. The Board Layout Editor is excellent in terms of flexibility. They have been improving its usability. Their development is very much agile, so for any feedback that we give them, they let us know if and when they would act on our request for enhancements or change, and then they make those changes. They are responsive.

Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would highly encourage others to implement LeanKit."
"My team specifically uses our board for all of our Remedy tickets that come in. We had a card for every ticket that we get, and we're able to add the link to that specific ticket there.If I'm out of office, for example, and someone else needs to work a ticket or someone is being contacted to work on a ticket, I don't have to sign on it. Someone else can easily access that ticket because I put the link in there. It's nice. It has a lot of great functionality in there."
"We use the board and card hierarchies in terms of sprints so that we can see if we have cross-functional teams that are working on the same projects together, especially when projects have dependencies. The parent-child relationship within cards is really nice so that we can see what kind of dependencies there are when we're trying to get projects finished."
"It makes work visible, so everybody knows where everything is. It uses Kanban, and that makes work visible."
"Using the tool seems to save time versus trying to do things in a regular manner; it is highly collaborative, everybody can see things in one place, and it is a highly functional but pretty simple tool, which is hard to find in a tool that has a lot of functions but is also simple."
"People found the ability to set up different lanes and the ability to see where they're within the progress most valuable. They can use different colored cards or sticky notes, and then they can separate out which cards belong to a department or the initiative they're working on. They can filter who's working on it, and I've got good feedback about that."
"What it does, it does well."
"Adoption across stakeholders and visibility have been the biggest success for us with LeanKit."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
"Helped organise the manual test cases so they were documented correctly, which was invaluable as it allowed for reviewing and improving of test scripts so they could be followed by a number of different people which helped with resourcing."
"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"PractiTest gives us the opportunity to control the testing process efficiently and saves us a lot of time that we had to spend while using other tools."
 

Cons

"The ability to report on customizable fields and third-party extensions needs improvement. I'd like to see more of those being able to be used. I don't know how that works for Planview, but just getting a little bit more added there would be nice."
"The integration with the Enterprise One product is probably an area for improvement. It's not really broken. It's just that it is such a handy tool and a great way to visually manage things. There is a very limited hookup/integration between Enterprise One, which is the master Planview tool, and LeanKit. While they are looking at this on their roadmap, it definitely needs to happen. There is a lot of opportunity there."
"Sometimes, we use it for project management lessons learned, and it would be helpful if there was a template set up for something like that because we code different cards based on the category."
"The integration with the Enterprise One product is probably an area for improvement."
"The ability to report on customizable fields and third-party extensions needs improvement."
"Our overall impression of Leankit has been very positive, however, our experience with the JIRA integration into our Leankit boards was much harder than we anticipated and that could be improved by simplifying it somehow."
"I do not know what it can do in the area of scrum. Maybe it has that functionality. I have never tried to set it up. You think of LeanKit from the perspective of Kanban. I don't know if there is a template for scrum, a scaled agile framework, or any of those scaling frameworks."
"The biggest improvement would be the API and data connections and making the data more accessible or quicker to access."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"Needs to improve adding the ability to run tests multiple times and setting different parameters."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know what it would be on its own. It was basically included with what we were already paying or using. So, it was a no-brainer. It wasn't like we had to sell the company on making a purchase or anything like that. There weren't any costs that came in after implementing it."
"I don't believe there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"As far as I understand, it is not an expensive application."
"In general, Planview's cost structure is reasonable. You get quite a lot of functionality for the license cost that you get."
"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
