Doing the job is easy when your team has the best project management tools that enable traditional and accidental project managers to plan and perform work with their teams.

Process and job visualization

Visually manage work using Kanban frames with the flexibility to easily model any workflow process, regardless of complexity

Kanban Online Frames

LeanKit online Kanban frameworks for Lean and Agile teams help you visualize your workflow and start seeing things you've never seen before.

Real-time work status

Drag and drop cards on the tracks of a frame, with custom categorization labels that represent different types of work, to share progress by the minute

Identify delivery risks

Visually communicate blocked work and identify process bottlenecks to ensure flow risks are addressed as quickly as possible

Work connections between teams

Debt and distribute connected work between teams that visualizes parent-child relationships to easily monitor accumulated statistics and potential problems

In-Process Work Limits (WIP)

Set limits on the number of cards that can be placed on any lane or sub-streak on your board, or set the number of items that can be assigned to each team member

Work planning and delivery

Use the backlog in each frame to plan, organize, and prioritize future work, run work in progress, and take it to completion to deliver value

Complex Process Mapping

Create new or edit existing plank layouts by dividing the streaks into multiple steps with horizontal streaks to represent different workflows in the same frame

Kanban frame models

Use out-of-the-box board templates to create initial work plates or create your own custom template for repeatable processes

Visible process policies

Ensure process consistency across your team: add, update, and share policy details set for any route/step in value stream

Contextual work collaboration

Keep communications in context with comment threads and @ card mentions, attach documents or images to cards, and share with collaborators

Health and history of the work item

View a full audit track of all changes made to a card, including WIP limit violations and lock/unlock details, track movements, and assigned users

Lean Analytics

Track and assess how quickly work progresses in the process using lead metrics and cycle time to identify opportunities for meaningful improvement

Flow Analytics

See how work flows through your process and determine the impact on due dates, so see where the work is stuck in the queue to help make the work flow

Agile Team Analytics

Understand whether planned sprint work is tracking completion goals and see the impact of unplanned work and reliability when reaching planned delivery dates

Advanced reporting capabilities

Access your Planview LeanKit data from the business intelligence tool of your choice to meet your organization's unique reporting needs
