Power made simple. Sprints, Epics & Backlog Everything you need to run Scrum Sprints (Sprints Planning, Epics, Story Points, Business Value, Burndown Charts, Team’s Velocity) and more so you can be agile without being a certified PMP or a Scrum master (if you’re one you’d like it even better). Ship early. Ship often. Kanban board Highly visual Kanban board that you can customize the way you want (themes, turn on/off features, list backgrounds, list sizes, dark mode, project backgrounds) so you can make it look (and work) the way you want while implementing the Kanban methodology like a boss.

(the only limit is your creativity) Let Ora do the boring PM work for you so you can focus only on what’s important.
