Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 22 of the 111 other project management tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Scrumwise, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You need to know Scrum terms and set up backlogs and sprints.
- 1
Best for small Scrum and Kanban teams
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $7.50 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $7.50 per user / month, billed annually ($9 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
30-day free trial for teams of any size; the "Try Now" button creates an account without signup.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 22 of 111
That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 30-day trial for teams of any size, started without sign-up. No free plan, so after a month every plan is paid. |
| Features | B | Backlogs, sprints, releases, task boards, burndown charts, time tracking and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the Scrum job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You need to know Scrum terms and set up backlogs and sprints. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. GitHub is the only integration named, and anything else goes through the API. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Software teams running Scrum with sprints, backlogs and burndown charts
- Teams that also need a Kanban board without leaving the tool
- Small teams that want one flat per-user price
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
