Additional Benefits for You

• Switch Modes on the Fly: Agilebars is a sprint planning tool designed to reduce your product backlog. Work in Kanban mode or Timebars timescale mode with a single-click switch. Update burndown chart progress in Kanban mode, then switch back to the Timebars time-scaled canvas—no import/export required; it just works.
• Improved Visibility: The Timebars time-phased canvas surpasses a Gantt chart view. Drag and drop bars to run parallel (unlike Gantt’s one-row-per-bar limitation), displaying more bars on-screen and enhancing resource and project scheduling productivity.
• Save Time Managing the Sprint Backlog: Create new work items using the Agilebars Spreadsheet template. After planning your sprint, drag and drop the spreadsheet onto the Agilebars canvas to import data and instantly schedule or update progress. With powerful task management and customizable workflows, you’ll control work effortlessly.
• Giant Screen Kanban Board: Ditch the dirty whiteboard. Use Agilebars Kanban mode on a giant screen to plan, schedule, and track sprints with your team.
• Drag-and-Drop Workflow: Move work items into lanes like “Will Do,” “Doing,” “Finalizing,” and “Done.” As items shift lanes, the Agilebars scheduling engine calculates progress and auto-generates data for the time-scaled canvas, burndown chart, and dashboard.
• Easy Baseline Management: Set a baseline or snapshot with one click before work begins. Compare the current forecast to the baseline (original plan) using burndown charts and reports with one click. Unlimited baselines supported.
• One-Click Burndown Charts: Generate burndown charts instantly based on Agilebars data from the browser, updated via the Kanban Board or Timebars Timescale Canvas. Switching lanes in Kanban mode adjusts progress using internal rules (e.g., dropping an item in “Done” sets it to 100% complete, feeding the burndown chart).
• Earned Value-Inspired Design: The Agilebars scheduling engine follows the Earned Value concept—progress is earned and percent complete is calculated, not manually set. Size each work item first; as items move lanes, work is earned automatically in a time-phased manner, boosting productivity and delivering impressive burndown charts.
• No More Nagging for Updates: Skip asking developers and testers for durations or hours. During the daily sprint, ask simple questions: “Did it start?” “Did testing start?” “Is it done?” Agilebars handles the rest with internal rules.
