Systematic way to manage projects

Opmerkingen: With multiple projects and a large team size, Pivotal is a very useful tool to keep a track of your projects. Also, there is no room for a communication gap between product and team teams by having a binary system to track the tasks.

Pivotal is a multi-functional SAAS platform with features like: 1. Managing projects along with real-time collaboration 2. Easily accept or reject a story 3. View stories based on their status - pending/completed

Minpunten:

The UX looks very old more like a decade-old design. The learning curve is steep. You need someone's help to understand the functionalities or watch a demo video.

Pivotal Tracker

Opmerkingen: Overall, Pivotal Tracker is a powerful project management tool that can help software development teams to stay organized, collaborate effectively, and deliver high-quality products on time.

Pluspunten:

Pivotal Tracker is fantastic tool used for software development team. It supports Agile project management which allows teams to easily manage their projects with Agile principles such as user stories, sprints, and prioritization. It also provides real-time updates on project progress, allowing team members to see the current status of the project. It can be easily integrated with GitHub, GitLab and Slack. This tool helps to identify areas where users can improve their processes and workflows.

Minpunten:

Pivotal Tracker offers both free and paid plans, but the paid plans might be expensive for small teams or startups.

Couldn't wait to switch to another platform

Pluspunten:

Pivotal Tracker actually does most of what you need to track projects, or stories for sprints for a scrum team, which is what I used it for. You can write stories and add images and links to them, and assign things to people and change the status of each story as it goes through your process. However, (see Cons section)...

Minpunten:

Pivotal does not use lanes for workflow. You get one lane, and stories can move up and down it vertically until they are done, and then they finally get to jump out to another lane. But the vertical workflow instead of horizontal is extremely non-intuitive. In fact, I found the entire software platform to be highly non-intuitive in general. I'm pretty savvy with learning new products, and it still took two weeks and multiple trainings for me to feel like I had a grasp of what I was doing. Furthermore, they only have 4 fixed statuses, so if those don't match your process well then you are stuck putting tags on all your stories to keep track of where they are in your process. It's doable, but very annoying. In addition, PivotalTracker looks like no one has done any development work on it since the year 2000. The interface is old and outdated, and challenging to wrap your head around. My company was using it when I started working here, and fortunately they switched to ClubHouse about 3 months after I started. What a glorious transition! It took me half a day to learn ClubHouse and it is so much cleaner and intuitive to work with. I believe shortly before we transitioned that Pivotal was actually starting to roll out some improvements to their platform, so maybe it's better now. But in my opinion they probably should have started thinking about that about 5 years earlier.

Pivotal Tracker: A User's Perspective on the Strengths and Weaknesses

Opmerkingen: Since I've been using Pivotal Tracker for a while, I can say that it's a reliable project management tool in general. My team finds it simple to collaborate and communicate on projects thanks to the user-friendly interface. I adore the variety of features it has, including story mapping, agile planning, and progress tracking, which is so helpful in keeping us on top of things. It also works well with the other tools we employ, such as GitHub and Slack. The best part is that it's free, though they do have a paid version if you want more features and support. Even so, there are some disadvantages. First, very large projects or organizations with complex needs might not be a good fit for it. The reporting and analytics capabilities are also somewhat limited, and I've occasionally noticed it to be slow. In addition, the tool's pricing for the paid version may be prohibitive for smaller teams or organizations. Another drawback is that it can take some time to set up and configure, especially if you have a lot of users or projects. Additionally, the mobile app lacks some features that the web version does, which can make it difficult to access information while on the go. Furthermore, some users have complained about difficulties syncing and integrating with other tools, which can be annoying. The customer support could, in my opinion, be more helpful and responsive. Although it isn't perfect, Pivotal Tracker is generally a respectable option for project management. It has some dra

Even though it has many wonderful features, there are some disadvantages as well. For a start, it isn't the best choice for organizations with complex needs or for large projects. The reporting and analytics capabilities are also somewhat limited, and I've occasionally noticed it to be slow. Additionally, the tool's customization capabilities could be improved, and for smaller teams or organizations, the cost of the paid version may be prohibitive. Although it has some drawbacks, overall, it's a respectable choice. A further drawback is that it can be time-consuming to set up and configure, particularly if you have a large number of users or projects. Additionally, when trying to access information while on the go, the mobile app may not be as feature-rich as the web version. Furthermore, some users have complained about difficulties syncing and integrating with other tools, which can be annoying. The customer support could, in my opinion, be more helpful and responsive. Although it's not a bad tool, there are some drawbacks and issues that should be taken into account before using it.
