A new research report from Software Advice sheds light on which functionalities of agile project management software have the greatest impact on efficiency, and the extent to which agile methods are used in teams beyond software development.

Project management software vendors are increasingly expanding the scope of their offerings. Part of this expansion includes software specifically tailored for agile project management methodologies, which focus on rapid execution and frequent iteration. To learn more, Software Advice surveyed project managers on what functionality and features of agile project management software have the greatest impact on a team’s efficiency. This report can help those considering an investment in this software learn more about how their peers use these tools so they can make a more informed purchase decision.

Key Findings:

  • Forty-eight percent of project managers surveyed use agile software primarily for projects not related to software development.
  • Ninety percent of respondents say workflow tracking improves efficiency more than any other agile functionality.
  • Eighty-eight percent of respondents say scrum boards and activity streams increase project management efficiency.
  • Nearly half of respondents (49 percent) say the most common challenge of using agile software is training others how to use it.
