Leankit Announces Integration Partnership With
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 16, 2012
LeanKit, recognized as the leader in electronic Lean/Kanban software, and Focused Objective, makers of the most powerful risk management solution for Lean-Agile management, today announce a partnership to provide customers with an integrated product offering. The combined solution will bring industry leading quantitative analysis to LeanKit?s and Focused Objective?s customer base in an easy to use and immediately available way. This analysis includes forecasting project delivery dates, pinpointing what factors such as staffing, quality, scope change, etc. are having the greatest impact on delivery dates, and the ability to find what staff skill additions will have the most impact.
?The ability to answer tough questions relating to date, cost, staff and risk forecasts, both before and during a software development project is a capability we want all Lean and Agile teams to have at their fingertips”, according to Troy Magennis, founder and CTO of Focused Objective. “By allowing customers to import and work from the leading Kanban tool vendor, LeanKit, we remove any barrier to entry and offer users an accelerated timeline to seeing incredible results from our simulation and modeling technology.?
?The accuracy and quality of the data available from a Kanban system is far superior to what has been available to management in the past. Traditional project management systems collect data based on estimates and averages, and are inherently flawed, explained Chris Hefley, founder and CEO of LeanKit. “This integration will take the high-quality data available from LeanKit and combine it with the revolutionary simulation and forecasting technology provided by Focused Objective, to provide managers and planners with the kind of accurate and reliable analysis that they need to make good decisions.?
The first visible outcome of this partnership is the immediate availability of an import tool that brings data from LeanKit into KanbanSim, Focused Objective?s desktop simulation tool for Lean teams. Magennis explains, “It is important that our customers aren?t forced to enter backlog data or plan multiple deliverables in more than one place. LeanKit does a fantastic job of making it easy to plan and organize a product story backlog, and our import wizard takes that data and incorporates it into our modeling language.?
