## Reviews

### "Optimal Agile tracking tool" — 5.0/5

> **Alfredo** | *12 April 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In my opinion, the greatest feature or pro this software has is that it works around stories, making the optimal tool if work with the Agile methodology for your development projects\! I also recently integrated with Slack and it works seamlessly\!
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't used it long enough to write about cons, so far so good\! Oh wait\! Something I would like to see is a desktop app for Pivotal Tracker.
> 
> Experience has been great so far\! Another important thing to note is it's not UI heavy so it works better than other solutions of its kind.

### "Pivotal Tracker for Web developers" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 November 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pivotal Tracker is a great option if you're working on a project with agile methodology. It has a simple interface, so if you are new to this type of softwares it wont take long to learn on how to use it. It helps you prioritise work in your team and it has an automatic velocity tracking to plan the next iterations for the product you're working on, based on the previous workflow.
> 
> **Cons**: If you are a user with experience in working with such softwares, pivotal tracking has limited functionality and capacity to customise it.

### "Agile - The Meh Parts" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *27 September 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: UI is pretty snappy and is reasonably good at updating without reloading. Story templates are nice, and the new code/qa review options are a nice move.
> 
> **Cons**: How would you like a nice management friendly stick to beat your developers with? This software follows and encourages the worst parts of capital A Agile. While  I do think it would be possible to use it "correctly" from a developer point of view, its definitely targeted at the managers and isn't really helpful in assessing actual work accomplished, or work that needs to be done.&#10;&#10;Backlog and icebox are confusing.
> 
> Save yourself the trouble and just use Trello. It's not worth it.

-----

### "Structure project management/ticketing system" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 March 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: With a deep integration with Github, Pivotal Tracker is a to go project management system. Learning curve is close to 0 thanks to the limited features, the tracker is meant to be used in a very specific way reducing the amount of time team members have to align on the use of the tool
> 
> **Cons**: Can be too limiting, some time the ice box gets huge  and things get lost, SCRUM master have to do their due diligence to keep things clean.

### "Great tool to manage projects and time" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *14 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having multiple projects going in multiple different areas of the company ( sales, marketing, development, etc) is very easy to track and to properly manage all the different projects going on in the company
> 
> **Cons**: While there are some organization with tagging user stories and creating epics, it would be nice if there was a way to order all stories in a filtered way. The issue we are running into is that we have many different projects, some of which are related to each other, but are randomly organized by the tag; rather than the date created or the priority.
> 
> For the most part, internally, this has replaced email.  We also use this to manage all company goals and initiatives, bug fixes, new features on the website, etc.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;It also allows us all to see the pipeline of new initiatives and allow someone who might be the best person to work on a specific project take ownership of it
