VivifyScrum Reviews

I was looking for a replacement for all of our yellow stickers on our scrum board, in a way that all team members could see. I like the visual of the board, quick overview, no wrong turns when opening boards. It is intuitive - and it is working.

Hm ha ha I had to pay to export my tasks - but of course - nothing is free.

Ease of use, without experience. Clarity throughout. Organisational benefits.

I would like to edit the boards layout and design a bit more, like having different themes, e.g. dark theme.

We've got a very clear overview of all the tasks we've to finish. We work with several people and it's easy to see who's working on which project and what we have to do each day. It works perfectly and I'm glad to see a more structured environment at the office.

Sometimes there's some problems with the website, mostly at the start of our workday (when we need it the most) which is unfortunate. Often its just a short moment and doesn't last for hours, but its a little annoying on busy weeks.

It's a clean and easy manageable UI. I can also easily archive and consult already finished tasks/items when needed + let the system automatically calculate the logged time for a certain period.

It would be handy to get a total hour count for a single task/item. Now, you only get the overall hours spent in a specified period, not per task/item. A more advanced time logging feature would be nice.

- Ease of use (Great user experience for both developers and project managers)
- Nice shortcuts (While adding a task to the backlog, you can assign it, label it, assign the type using # shortcuts)
- Dynamic settings (You can add different time estimation units per board)
- Integrated time tracker
- Nice burndown charts
- Nice reports (Worklogs + Sprint report)
- Great mobile application
- Task Relationships
- Easy filtering

- No firefox time tracker extension
- NOTHING ELSE

I used this mainly for my software development projects. Really easy to use and very innovative. There is this cool graph where it shows how your work is going and how it is supposed to go. It is a time track tool to make sure you are completing tasks and finishing them on time. The graph tool is my favorite tool.

It took some time learning how to use and become a scrum master. I had to read a lot prior to using this software to really familiarize myself with the whole concept. But once you have it down it is a beautiful tool to have.

The way boards are organised and how easy it is to create tasks and choose participants.
The time tracking feature seems really useful for management/project time-tracking

The upgrade subscription action to add a new member (was) a bit clunky and not optimized, but since it has been fixed with an update, it's fine.

It is easy to use even for non-technical people. It provides all the required SCRUM board features for driving a sprint effectively. Certain features are extensively used by our team and works perfect for us like reviewing older stories, adding checkpoints, project timeline, burndown charts etc.

Nothing specific that comes to my mind. It satisfies our team needs.

I like how practical and intuitive it is. Take each task to the maximum detail you could have

The look and feel. It doesn't look new, professional or innovative

The ease of use, the nice interface.

Have more theme selection

The cost is reasonable at compared to other systems and the software aligns well with the Scrum Framework so you can just start using it.

Some refined features are missing like sorting on backlog item list in dashboard view (this would be nice). Also some clicks, text edits, and mouse drags don't register sometimes when you expect it ... seems to be just S/W polishing required.

I am leaning on using it for it's ease of training team in the Scrum Methodology. I believe that starting with a tool like DevOps upfront can delay the trust and confidence of the Scrum Team. The team needs to buy in and VivifyScrum allows the tool to not become an impediment.

No cons. The tool is simple to follow and administer.

It is easy to use and it is intuitive. The gui is very simple to understand and it's not hard to teach others the principles of scrum and kanban with this software.

I don't really have a dislike. It's fit all my. Needs

Project simplification, followup and ease of execution. From day one, it helps you itemized your work, follow it up, monitor progress and measure performance.

Interface looks archaic. I wanted something that looks more dynamic and aesthetic like "slack" interface. Borrow a leaf from the way google designs their products

You get to see the sprints, tasks, and descriptions in a clear way

Not so easy to use. some features are harf to find and use

Easy to use
Easily accessible options
Clean to track status without wasting too much time

Nothing. Well, maybe the free tier could be a bit extended by number of users for moderately small teams.

We have several new designer that don't have a background in project management. They can easily jump into this type of product and find it useful.

It's very easy to get around and the graphics make quick views easy.

People who are more advanced and working on large-scale projects may not get the power they need from this.

Easy to use in a class setting, good for team development

It was a little different to use at first

It is seamless and very quick.

None.

The fact that the application is quite smooth and light for a tool like that. It does what you want efficiently.

I think we need to add more feature. For example we can add the story point total for the sprint and when we reach this limit, the application notice us.

It provides an easy view of the task's progresses.

The layout is kind of outdated, it's not clean to use.

I appreciate absolutely the ADHERENCE to the system proposed in the Agile Manifesto. As you read it, you apply, and this allows to remove a lot of more complex tools that weigh too much the method once applied

Not found, actually I think that even the price is absolutely adequate for the service proposed

The thing I love about Vivify is the way that you can manage your features by labels, organize your product backlog. Actually many software do that, but what others software don’t do is to provide way to use the label, like for suming the point, filtering.

I use Gitlab CE, Github, I have worked on Jira and for the moment this is Vivify who help me to organize my backlog the better.

The lack of advanced features.

Like if I want to story map, to see the features in a mindmap, to have a larger view of my backlog who sum up my features.

Also the relation with gitlab is not good. I want a total mirroring of gitlab issues.

It's easy to create "tasks", when we have a complex project link "cards" is an essential feature.
Labels and "card types" work really well.

Search field doesn't work well, is super hard to find past cards using it.
Sometimes more the one link per card is needed and we do not have this option.
The app is not as good or as fast as the web platform.

VivifyScrum allows you to organize your team efficiently, finish the work and estimate time.
The kanban board is simple and easy to use.
You can record the time spent in a task and estimate time to be spent.
You can view the team overall performance through charts.

Has some minor UI incompatibilities with Firefox Browser.
Sometimes the app gets out of sync and a browser refresh is required.
