Feature comparison
UNLIMITED PROJECTS
Inside the projects you can make an unlimited number of items. Apart from the usual features like renaming and deleting an item there are item types which help you organize the items.
ProdGoal’s types are color-coded. You can create as many item types as you want. The categories are also unlimited.
Among color-coded features, blocker flagging is color-coded too for easier communication.
Regarding assignees, you can assign any number of members who are working on the task. There is also a time-tracking icon on the item that displays the time a card has spent in a status.
NEXT-GEN ROADMAP
Highly customizable roadmap with advanced features out of the box. You can collapse rows and columns to improve the focus on the important work. There is also a rich-text editor to help you point out and format the text to emphasize the message.
Roadmap columns have the option to set WIP limits and categories like the board columns have. Days in progress calculations are displayed on the cards and it shows precisely how much time the card has been in which column when the icon is clicked.
Roadmap cards also have an additional feature - relations with board items, which is shown on the roadmap card and it lists all connected board items, sorted by their status.
TEMPLATES
Every project comes with templates to get you started easily, but you can also build it from the ground up and later customize the project however you want.
UNLIMITED ITEMS
Inside the projects you can make an unlimited number of items. And in addition, they have item types that help you organize them as you see fit.
ProdGoal’s types are color-coded. You can create as many item types as you want. The categories are also unlimited.
Among color-coded features, blocker flagging is color-coded too for easier communication.
As assignees are concerned, all members working on a task can be assigned to it. There is also an hourglass icon on the item that displays the time a card has spent in a status.
UNLIMITED USERS
No matter the number of team members you work with. You can invite all of them. A useful thing is that you can immediately assign a task to the invited member even though that member hasn’t accepted the invitation yet.
UNLIMITED STORAGE
ProdGoal offers 5MB storage space out of the box, but with a Google Drive integration, you get unlimited storage.
KANBAN VIEW
ProdGoal’s unlimited boards are made with Kanban methodology in focus. Board’s columns have features like WIP (work in progress) limits, both minimum and maximum limits, column types, and categories. You can also define policies. And it is easily configurable.
ProdGoal’s WIP limits are color-coded and change color to warn when approaching or going over the limit. Jira has an option only to set a high WIP limit in its free plan, while it is possible to set both low and high WIP limits in ProdGoal. You can still make new tasks and delete them as normal, even if you crossed the limit.
The column types are color-coded and you can create as many column types as you need. There are 5 built-in column type categories to place the types in and those are - ”Backlog”, “To Do”, “Doing”, “Done and Archive”.
AUTOMATIC FORECASTING
Groups are a separate item view, where you can arrange tasks. Groups are unlimited as well. What is cool with groups is that it automatically forecasts when the tasks will be done based on historical data. The more tasks are finished, the more data you provide for calculation, and then the estimates will be more accurate.
In the groups’ view, a relation between a board item and a roadmap item can be created. Items in the groups can be connected to roadmap items.
