Pivotal Tracker has set out to change the way that teams are building software. This is a proven project management tool which can help your workforce deliver more consistent and frequent achievements. It does this by creating a shared view of team priorities and a process that uses a wealth of tools and collaboration to analyse progress.
The program’s shared backlog will mean that team priorities are crystal clear. Therefore, work can easily be visualised and organised. Tools like guided iteration planning will also help you to adapt and evolve, while breaking down and prioritising projects.
One of the best things about Pivotal Tracker is that there will no longer be any surprises during project work. Everyone will have a real-time transparent view of proceedings, with one quick scan telling them who is responsible for what, were they are with it and what they’re doing next.
It all starts with a storyPivotal Tracker helps your team better plan and develop their work by turning your objectives and tasks into notecards, or ‘stories’. You can then select an array of features to help you achieve your goals and complete the story. Thanks to Tracker you can also estimate and prioritise the different stories, depending on their complexity and urgency. After choosing several point scales you can then prioritise by iteration, just by simply dragging and dropping them.
Get organisedAutomatic planning, available through an array of Tracker features, will allow your team to stay in rhythm. Managing timelines and unrealistic expectations will be no more, as velocity steps in to run the show. These interactive workspaces will also put your projects into complete order. Multi-project settings can help you view different tasks side-by-side, allowing you to juggle various responsibilities on just one screen.
Analytics management will also help you gauge how well your team is functioning. It will illustrate the overall project health, just by examining the both the nitty-gritty details and broad trends. This visual representation will instantly give you a bird’s-eye-view of performance, a handy microscope for all your projects. Clicking on any of the reports will show you your project health, in terms of iterations, epics, releases and more.
