Scale Agile and Accelerate Time to Value by Connecting Multiple Teams Using Disparate Agile Tools and Workflows

New Planview LeanKit Agile Scaler enables organizations to expand
agile success with work delivery flexibility

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Organizations can now achieve the benefits of agile at scale and deliver
faster with the Planview® LeanKit Agile Scaler. The new
Agile Scaler offering
makes it possible to extend agile delivery
across teams spanning functional and departmental boundaries while still
ensuring every team has the autonomy to use their own agile execution
tools and processes, and to:

  • Synchronize planning and promote coordination across teams
    by decomposing epics and features, mapping out dependencies, and
    providing checkpoints for adjustments and course correction
  • Create visibility into the flow of work and collaborate across
    teams to ensure alignment
    with company initiatives and drive
    investments in support of product, value stream, and portfolio
    priorities
  • Drive continuous improvement with lean metrics for measuring
    process efficiency, identifying areas of opportunity, and adapting
    workflow processes

“As organizations seek to build on the success of Agile, they face a
difficult choice – how to create enough of a connection across teams and
with the broader portfolio while not negatively impacting the proven
success of their delivery teams,” said Jon Terry, Planview chief
evangelist, Lean-Agile strategy. “With Planview’s Agile Scaler, leaders
can now expand the positive team-level results to larger programs and
strategic initiatives without compromising productivity and speed.”

The Agile Scaler enables work delivery flexibility by harmonizing status
and shared assignments between Planview LeanKit® team boards
and agile execution tools, whether teams are using LeanKit, Atlassian
Jira, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, Microsoft Azure DevOps, multiple
tools, and/or multiple instances of the same tool. It is a component of
the Planview
solution for Lean and Agile delivery
and includes Tasktop
Integration Hub for bi-directional synchronization. Tasktop Integration
Hub uses a unique model-based approach to consolidate and create
centralized visibility on all planned and unplanned work across multiple
tools for improved resource allocation and a better understanding of
velocity and constraints. Each team’s work is connected with higher
level objectives on program and release train boards in LeanKit to
facilitate planning, manage dependencies, provide stakeholder
visibility, and ensure alignment with portfolio objectives.
