Scrumwise vs Refined! Scrum Agile

The official Scrumwise app for iOS. Get access to all of Scrumwise from your iOS device. Use your existing Scrumwise account to log in, and get access to all of your data. The app has all of the functionality in Scrumwise, including: • Overview • Team management • Backlog management • Release planning • Sprint planning • Task boards • Burndown • Kanban • Time tracking Ideal for use on iPad, but also useful on iPhone to get a quick look at your task board or burndown, or add a backlog item to your backlog.

Refined! was designed to be simple yet functional. It is a software as a service and is subscription based. The idea is that a team member of a scrum team (product owner, scrum master, developer or even a manager) can have at their finger tips an easy way to add backlog items into a sprint, amend their refinement attributes, be assisted with their prioritization, track changes and report progress of each sprint through the relevant charts. Choose from a variety of prioritization methods, whether it is story points, priority ranking, Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), MoSCoW (Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won't Have this time) and others. Keep track of the defects of each sprint, the team mood. View all metrics via several dynamic charts. There are other software out there, but iOS applications on Scrum and Agile have limited functionality, and whilst browser based systems are overly complicated and expensive. Also, most can only be used with internet access. Refined! stores information on the device and simultaneously syncs with your iCloud account when internet access is available. So you can continue the refinement even if your device is off the grid! Refined! is designed and built by Jim Kandias, a current agile coach and product owner with over 20 years of working in all aspects of software delivery. Traditional software development of course started off with the Waterfall model, these days he works almost exclusively with Scrum agile. He has delivered software for companies in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Due to the fact that he was a software engineer for many years, who progressed into a team leader, scrum master, a product owner and agile coach, he has has a deep undestanding of the software lifecycle and the different aspects of a sprint. Most of the terminology used here are part of the "Scrum.org" agile framework which he has studied. However, to cater a little for those of you using SaFe we have added "Weighted Shortest Job First" (WSJF)" as it is a useful prioritization technique which provides additional flexibility. Contact us with your suggestions and we will review and implement if it will benefit other Refined! users, thank you!
