Gantt Reinvented

• Cards are associated directly to Activities on the project plan

• Status of connected cards automatically reflected in associated Activities on the plan

• Product Owner/Product Manager creates basic project plan/outline (classic WBS)

• PO/PM to assist team with breaking down stories into executable tasks as cards

• As cards are completed, inline progress bar shows real-time status of each Activity

Classic Waterfall Plan Realistic Team Execution




Task Burndown

What is our current

efficiency?

Given our current

efficiency, will we meet the target date?

If not, what can we do to get

there?

Completion date if we continue at 2.9

cards per day

Original target completion date,

but requires almost 4x increase in

efficiency




Bringing it all together

Grooming and Sprint planning sessions made easy Never miscommunicate priorities again Get right to the good stuff during daily

scrum




Projectplace is the perfect beginner’s tool for implementing Agile Scrum into your organization.

Agile scrum is starting to bleed into other organizations outside of software development – Marketing, Sales, Event Planning, etc.
