Respond to Change & Deliver Results with Agile Tools
Manage your backlogs, execute sprints and work better as a team with our agile tools. We have three work views for managing projects—kanban boards, Gantt charts and task lists—which give agile teams the flexibility they need to adapt and thrive. Get responsive agile tools and in-depth reporting features in one easy-to-use software.
Advanced Task Management Features
Personalize your tasks with to-do lists, tags, comments, files and more. When a new task is created and assigned, an email alert and an in-app notification are triggered, keeping everyone on the same page. Timesheets are also automatically updated when hours are logged on a task.
Visual Workflows with Kanban Boards
Make workflows clear and digestible with kanban boards. Teams can save time and focus on specific tasks with task filters. Filter by tags, due dates, progress or assignee to find what you need quickly. Whether you’re managing your backlog or just your daily tasks, you’re covered.
Dashboards Keep You On Track
Collect all your project metrics on one page with our real-time dashboards. Managers can track task progress, team workload, costs and more. The dashboard is customizable, so you can extract only the important information, faster. With this, agile teams can respond swiftly to any problems.
Manage Your Work, Your Way
Stay focused on your assigned tasks with the My Work Page. You can make your own tasks that are not attached to any project here, too. Having tasks that aren’t tied to a project helps you stay agile and frees you from a rigid plan. It’s up to you. It’s your work.

Plan Sprints & More with Agile Tools
How to Get the Most Out of Agile Tools
Agile tools help self-directed teams to tackle tasks in short iterative sprints, working collaboratively and changing direction quickly to respond to end-user expectations. Using ProjectManager gives teams the freedom to do their jobs better, with features for product owners to monitor and track their progress. Here’s how it works:
1. Onboard Team
Onboard the scrum master, product owner and everyone on the agile team by sending them an email. All they have to do is follow the link, and they’ll be ready to work.
2. Build Backlog
Build your product backlog by using our task list project view. Import your tasks from any spreadsheet, or just add them directly in our software. There are also industry-specific templates to get you started.
3. Fill Out Tasks
Fill out your tasks to add details for the team. There’s a description field for direction, add priority and tag the task to make it easy to find in a search.
4. Plan Sprint
Plan your sprint with the product owner, team and scrum master. Use the kanban board view to see your product backlog and determine how many of those items to complete in the sprint.
5. Assign Tasks
Assign tasks to the team, and attach any user stories that can help guide them when executing the task. One or more team members can be assigned to each task.
6. Use Timesheets
Use timesheets to monitor the hours logged by your team and contractors during sprints. Our tool automatically logs time when the sprint is done.
7. Use Dashboards
Use dashboards to get a high-level view of your project or sprint. See progress on graphs and charts that track tasks, costs and more. We do the calculations for you, and make it easy to share with stakeholders.
Essential Features of Our Agile Tools
Find What You Want Fast
Use tags to customize the project tasks on your backlog. Then, when you search for something, just filter by tag. Or, filter by deadline and see just the work due today. No more wasting time searching, it’s all there when you want it.
Keep Track of User Stories
Keep track of user stories, assign tasks and monitor your team’s time all from the task list project view. Filter by due date, owner, project and more. Scrum teams can collaborate and share files to increase their productivity. Make task lists for teams, or to manage your personal tasks.
Stay Updated on Comments & Progress
Get email alerts immediately whenever a task is updated, or when a comment is added. Stay current on your project’s status with in-app notifications that list all your alerts, so you don’t even have to leave the tool. Always know what’s going on as it happens.
See All Your Sprints on a Timeline
Get an overview of all your projects or sprints on a single page. The roadmap lays out multiple projects to help you align your strategy and create synergy. See all your sprints in one place, and distribute resources more efficiently to get teams working better.
Monitor Logged Hours on Tasks
Have transparency into your team’s work without needing to micromanage them. Timesheets automatically update as tasks progress continues. Everything can be tracked in real time on the dashboard, or with reports. Once a timesheet is submitted, it’s locked and cannot be changed.
See Who’s Doing What, Now
Give your team the freedom to manage their sprints, while getting a window into their work and progress. The team management page shows everyone on the team, their tasks, priorities and percentage complete. Catch potential bottlenecks before they happen and keep teams on track.
