What it is
SwiftKanban is a visual project management tool for teams using Kanban, Scrum, or Scrumban. Configurable workflows and flow metrics help teams visualize work, set work-in-progress limits, spot bottlenecks, and use analytics in stand-ups and retrospectives. Metrics include Lead Time, Cycle Time, Throughput, Flow Efficiency, Blocking Time Analysis, and Adjacency Matrix. Portfolio Lane and multi-board Card Hierarchy provide visual portfolio management. SwiftSync lists more than 60 enterprise integrations, including Azure DevOps, JIRA, and CA Agile Central; Zapier connects it to more than 2,000 tools, and it also integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams. Web services use SOAP and REST APIs. The product is available as SaaS or on-premise software, with Android and iOS apps for boards, cards, comments, and attachments. NimbleWork states that its products use encryption at rest and in transit, SAMLv2 and ADFSv3 single sign-on, and Zero Trust Architecture. The free Team plan is free and allows three users and two boards. Group costs $7 a month per user when paid annually; Enterprise costs $15 a month per user when paid annually.
