Overview Presentation
Mingle is a web-based agile project management and collaboration tool that provides a combined workplace for the entire team, keeping them on top of growing business demands. It is versatile and can be modified according to the team, work and the project. It is designed to integrate with the team’s current workflow. Through it, teams can define the organization’s objectives, track its plan’s progress, and receive alerts during changes.
Features, Benefits, Strengths
- Program Management and Workflow – Mingle supports program management by allowing users to define features for their organization. They can also help identify the teams and work needed to realize those features. During development, they have a way to check the status of the features, the progress of its development, and the people in charge as requirements change. The Planner is a single workspace that supports collaboration and visibility. Users can manage multiple teams to coordinate work and adapt to plans as they change. Teams can raise and resolve dependencies autonomously. The Workflow tool includes cards and card walls. Tags allow for easy tracking of just about anything. Other features include templates and transitions.
- Content and Collaboration – The agile project management software has a WYSIWYG editor tool for writing content. Wiki pages allow the team to share information easily. Teams can also use tags, attachments, and comment to create context for their content. HTML and code can be inserted in cards. Users can create charts and graphs to present their data and make cards more intelligent. For collaboration, Murmurs allow the team to have conversations without leaving the platform. It also integrates with Slack. They can drag and drop avatars when assigning team members to cards. The software also integrates with GitHub or any other Git repository.
- Reporting, Integrations, SSO, Chrome Extension, and more – Mingle automatically calculates cycle time from the card wall. This can be easily presented to the team. Users can create charts and other data visualizations on cards and wiki pages. MQL is a powerful query language that provides users greater control over their data. Aside from Slack and Git integrations, it also works with a list of other tools such as application lifecycle management (ALM) software, tools for build and release management, code review, CRM, defect management, IDE, issue tracking, PPM, requirements management, source control, test management, and more. It works with Okta for SSO, and also has a Chrome extension with shortcuts.
