See who is working on what at a glance
The developers, designers, BAs and testers will live in the story wall, constantly keeping it up to date. This way you can peek in at any time and know exactly what is going on.
Most agile tools are nothing more than to-do lists for your developers or difficult to use “enterprise” solutions. We make it easier for you to make decisions using agile’s velocity charts, burndown charts and powerful backlog management.
Clarity for the whole team
We visualize your project so that you and your team know what is going on.
Planning tools that help decide what you’re going to create
Making the right decisions is possible when you have all of the information.
Delivery tools that work the way you do
Our virtual story wall provides a natural workspace for your team.
Spend time on the business, not in the business (saves you time)
Save time on following up and focus on making great things.
Solid, safe & secure
Rock-solid hosting infrastructure and off-site backups 4 times a day.
Integrates with your tools

Complete Visibility
Agile Bench makes your team’s work visible so everyone is clear on what is happening.
Realistically plan out what your team can deliver
Instead of guessing how much work you can do, you and your team can use velocity charts showing past delivery rates (empirical data!) to decide how much to do next.
Understand how big your project really is
Projected iterations give you a back of the envelope, “how much work are we going to get through in the next few weeks” kind of answer.
Planning tools that help decide
If your spreadsheets and Google had a lovechild, it would look like this.
Know when you are asking too much, or too little
We can show you whether you’re on track, giving you the information you need to make the right decisions.
Assess the impact
When you are looking for stories to plan out you need to know how big they are without taking off your socks to add up all the numbers. Our stats panel shows you the size of your search results.
One search bar for everything
Finally you can find stories in your backlog. Filter stories by searching a story’s description, title and comments. Filter by tags, features and users. Combine these search filters for even more powerful search.
Find what you mean, not what you asked for
We don’t always remember what we wrote so Agile Bench does its best to understand what you want.
Delivery tools that work the way you do
Track your projects as you deliver.
Discuss the finer points of your work, in context
Great software comes from teams working well together. We keep track of your team’s discussions and get them out of your inbox so everyone can see what is happening.
See how work is tracking
Burndown charts show how much work is remaining and when that work needs to finish. The story wall shows who is working on what and where it is up to.
See the history of what’s been done
So you’ve been away for a day or two and want to know what has happened. Each story has a log of what happened, when it happened and who did it.
Assign more than one person to a task
Maybe your team pair programs. Maybe you have a designer and a developer both working on a story. Now you can reflect this reality.
Flexible workflow
Change your story workflow to reflect the way you run your team.
Spend time on the business, not in the business
We have eliminated all the things that slow you down with conventional tools.
Less admin, more delivery
The clarity that Agile Bench gives you will free you up to focus on doing high value work instead of acting as the messenger.
Self Managing Teams
By removing the project manager as the person who allocates work, you remove a bottleneck.
