Best for small Scrum and Kanban teams
Scrumwise is a browser tool for backlogs, sprints, releases, burndown charts and Kanban boards, at $7.50 a user a month billed yearly. It does that job without extras, but there is no free plan, only one integration is named, and its pages list no phone or desktop apps.
Who Scrumwise is for
- Fits if your team already runs Scrum sprints and wants burndown charts
- Works for a small team that wants Scrum without extra modules
Who Scrumwise is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as it has none after the 30-day trial
- Skip it if you need phone or desktop apps, as the pages list none
- Not for you if you want many integrations: only GitHub is named, the rest goes through the API
- Watch out: the monthly plan takes only Visa, MasterCard or American Express
Why Scrumwise gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$7.50 a user a month billed yearly, $9 monthly, which sits between the cheaper quarter's $6 and the dearer quarter's $12.50.
- CFree plan and trial30-day trial for teams of any size, started without sign-up. No free plan, so after a month every plan is paid.
- BFeaturesBacklogs, sprints, releases, task boards, burndown charts, time tracking and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the Scrum job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You need to know Scrum terms and set up backlogs and sprints.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. GitHub is the only integration named, and anything else goes through the API.

Keep Scrumwise, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Scrumwise you could make: kanban boards, tasks and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $90 a year.
What you could make
- Kanban boards, tasks and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Scrumwise’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Scrumwise?
Scrumwise is a browser-based agile tool built around Scrum: product backlogs, sprints, releases and task boards, with Kanban boards for work that does not need sprints. It also tracks time against work items. The company is based in Denmark and says it has run the product since 2009.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; after the 30-day trial both plans are paid.
- The pages describe a browser app and mention no desktop or mobile apps.
- Only one integration, GitHub, is named on the features page; anything else goes through the API.
- The monthly plan accepts only Visa, MasterCard or American Express.
Key features
- Backlog management
- Backlogs are organized with lists, tags and filters. Epics give a high-level view, and subtasks and checklists break items into smaller pieces.
- Sprints and releases
- Sprint planning shows which team is over-allocated and handles vacations, partial allocations and weekend work. Release dates are predicted from expected velocity and burnup.
- Task boards and Kanban
- Boards update in real time with one row per backlog item. Separate Kanban boards cover work without sprints, and Scrum and Kanban can be mixed.
- Burndown charts
- Progress charts account for vacations and weekend work, whichever time zone a team is in.
- Time tracking
- Time logs per person, sprint, team and calendar period, exportable to CSV or pasted into a spreadsheet.
- API and GitHub link
- An API reads and changes data for one-way or two-way syncing, and a GitHub integration lets commit messages reference Scrumwise items.
