3 Agile Frameworks, One Tool

Choose the methodology that fits your team. Switch between frameworks as your process evolves.

🏃

Scrum

Sprint-based iterative development following the Scrum Guide 2020. Fixed-length sprints (1-4 weeks) with planning, daily standups, sprint review and retrospective. Roles: Product Owner manages the backlog, Scrum Master facilitates ceremonies, Development Team estimates and delivers. Track velocity and burndown across sprints.

Best for: Teams building products with evolving requirements, who benefit from regular feedback cycles and predictable delivery cadence.
📊

Kanban

Continuous flow management based on David Anderson's Kanban Method. Visualize work on a board with customizable columns, enforce WIP (Work In Progress) limits, define explicit column policies, and categorize work with Class of Service (Standard, Expedite, Fixed Date, Intangible). Use swimlanes to group cards by assignee, priority, CoS or tag. Roles: Service Request Manager and Service Delivery Manager.

Best for: Support teams, maintenance workflows, environments with changing priorities, or teams transitioning gradually to agile.
🔀

Hybrid (Scrumban)

Combines the best of Scrum and Kanban: keep sprint structure for planning rhythm while using Kanban's WIP limits and flow metrics for daily execution. Optional sprints, simplified ceremonies, and both velocity and flow metrics. Get the predictability of Scrum with the flexibility of Kanban.

Best for: Teams transitioning between frameworks, projects with mixed feature development and maintenance, or teams needing sprint structure with more flexibility.

Framework Deep Dive

Each framework comes with tailored columns, roles, metrics and workflows. Here's exactly how they work inside Keisen.

🏃 Scrum — Sprint-Based Iterative Development

Keisen implements Scrum following the Scrum Guide 2020 with full ceremony support and role-based permissions.

Sprint Lifecycle (4 Phases)

  1. Planning — The Product Owner selects stories from the prioritized backlog. The team estimates with integrated Planning Poker and commits based on team capacity (hours per member, adjusted for availability and vacations). Sprint duration is configurable from 1 to 4 weeks.
  2. Active — The Development Team works on committed stories. The Kanban board shows 4 columns: To Do → In Progress → In Review → Done. Track daily progress with the burndown chart (ideal vs. actual), record daily standup notes (Yesterday / Today / Blockers) per team member, and detect blockers automatically.
  3. Review — The Scrum Master conducts a formal Sprint Review following Scrum Guide 2020. Each story receives an outcome: Approved, Needs Refinement, or Rejected. Capture stakeholder feedback, demo notes, formal decisions (action items, scope changes, technical decisions) and lessons learned.
  4. Completed — Velocity is calculated automatically. The sprint links to an integrated Retrospective board. Unfinished stories return to the backlog for the next sprint.

Scrum Roles (Scrum Guide 2020)

  • Product Owner — Owns the backlog. Creates, edits, deletes and prioritizes stories. Sets the Definition of Ready. Defines the final estimate after team discussion. Assigns team members to stories.
  • Scrum Master — Facilitates ceremonies. Creates, starts and completes sprints. Runs Sprint Review and Retrospective. Configures WIP limits and board settings. Removes impediments.
  • Development Team (Developer, Designer, QA) — Estimates stories via Planning Poker. Self-assigns to stories. Moves own stories on the board. Records daily standup notes. Cannot create stories or manage sprints.
  • Stakeholder — View-only access. Participates in Sprint Review feedback. Cannot modify stories, sprints or board.

Scrum Metrics

  • Velocity — Story points completed per sprint, with trend line across sprints
  • Burndown Chart — Points remaining per day vs. ideal burndown line
  • Burnup Chart — Points completed per day showing scope changes
  • Sprint Health Score — Automatic risk detection when progress falls below 80% of ideal
  • Estimation Accuracy — Estimated vs. actual points comparison
  • Lead Time & Cycle Time — Days from creation to done / in-progress to done

📊 Kanban — Continuous Flow Management

Keisen implements Kanban following David Anderson's Kanban Method with 6 practices: visualize workflow, limit WIP, manage flow, make policies explicit, implement feedback loops, improve collaboratively.

Board Configuration (6 Default Columns)

  1. Backlog — All incoming work. Policy: "Sort by priority". No WIP limit.
  2. Refinement — Stories being analyzed and detailed. WIP limit: 5. Policies: "Max 2 days in column", "Requires acceptance criteria".
  3. Ready — Stories that meet the Definition of Ready. WIP limit: 5. Policy: "Estimations completed".
  4. In Progress — Active development. WIP limit: 3. Policy: "Max 1 item per person", "Daily status update".
  5. Review — Code review / QA. WIP limit: 2. Policy: "Max 24h in column", "Requires code review".
  6. Done — Completed work. Policy: "All acceptance criteria met". No WIP limit.

WIP Limits & Visual Status

Each column shows a real-time WIP indicator with color coding: green = under limit, orange = at limit, red = exceeded. Expedite items (Class of Service) can exceed WIP limits when needed for urgent work.

5 Swimlane Types

  • Class of Service — Expedite (top, red) → Fixed Date (purple) → Standard (blue) → Intangible (grey)
  • Assignee — One horizontal row per team member
  • Priority — Must (top) → Should → Could → Won't (bottom)
  • Tag — One row per tag for category-based grouping
  • None — Classic flat column view

Class of Service (4 Categories)

  • Standard (blue) — Normal FIFO processing, respects WIP limits
  • Expedite (red) — Urgent work, can exceed WIP limits, processed immediately
  • Fixed Date (purple) — Immovable deadline, scheduled commitment
  • Intangible (grey) — Technical debt, infrastructure, no immediate business value

Kanban Roles

  • Service Request Manager (SRM) — Equivalent to Product Owner. Manages incoming requests, prioritizes backlog, defines acceptance criteria.
  • Service Delivery Manager (SDM) — Equivalent to Scrum Master. Manages flow, monitors WIP limits, facilitates improvement meetings, removes impediments.
  • Team Members — Pull work from the board, self-assign, update status daily.

Kanban Metrics

  • Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) — Visualizes work item count per status over time, revealing bottlenecks
  • Lead Time — Days from story creation to completion
  • Cycle Time — Days from "In Progress" to "Done"
  • Throughput — Items completed per week
  • Work Item Age — How long each item has been in its current status
  • Flow Efficiency — Ratio of active work time vs. total lead time
  • WIP Distribution — Current items per status column

🔀 Hybrid (Scrumban) — Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid combines Scrum's sprint rhythm with Kanban's flow management. Keep the predictability of time-boxed iterations while using WIP limits and flow metrics for daily execution.

Board Configuration (Simplified)

  1. To Do — Sprint-committed stories ready to start. No WIP limit.
  2. In Progress — Active development. WIP limit: 5. Policy: "Max 1 item per person".
  3. Done — Completed work. Policy: "All acceptance criteria met".

What Hybrid Takes from Each Framework

From Scrum From Kanban
Optional sprint time-boxing WIP limits per column
Velocity tracking Flow metrics (CFD, lead/cycle time)
Burndown / Burnup charts Continuous improvement cadence
Sprint planning & capacity Pull system (team decides when to start)
Retrospectives per sprint Column policies

When to Use Hybrid

  • Teams transitioning from Scrum to Kanban (or vice versa)
  • Projects mixing feature development (sprint-based) with maintenance (flow-based)
  • Teams that need sprint structure for planning but want more flexibility in daily execution
  • Organizations with mixed maturity levels across teams

Scrum Guide 2020 — Role Permissions Matrix

Every action is controlled by a dual-layer role system: access role (owner, admin, member, viewer) combined with functional role (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developer). For Kanban projects, roles are remapped: PO → Service Request Manager, SM → Service Delivery Manager.

Built on Proven Methodologies

Keisen's Agile Process Manager isn't just another project board — it implements the actual frameworks as defined by their creators. Scrum follows the Scrum Guide 2020 by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland, with proper accountability boundaries between Product Owner, Scrum Master and Developers. Kanban implements David Anderson's six practices — from visualizing workflow to collaborative improvement — with real WIP limits, explicit policies and Class of Service categorization.

The permission matrix enforces Scrum's separation of concerns: only the Product Owner manages the backlog, only the Scrum Master manages sprints, and only Developers estimate. This isn't optional — it's how the framework is designed to work, and Keisen enforces it so your team builds the right habits from day one.

Combined with the integrated Estimation Room for Planning Poker, the Retrospective Board for continuous improvement, the Eisenhower Matrix for strategic prioritization, and Smart Todo for operational task management, Keisen provides a complete agile ecosystem — not just isolated tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What agile frameworks does Keisen support?
Keisen supports 3 agile frameworks: Scrum (sprint-based with full ceremony support including planning, daily standup, review and retrospective), Kanban (continuous flow with WIP limits, swimlanes, column policies and Class of Service), and Hybrid/Scrumban (combining sprint structure with Kanban flow and WIP limits). Each framework has tailored features, roles, metrics and default board configurations.
Is the Agile Process Manager free?
Yes, Keisen Agile Process Manager is free to use. You can create agile projects, manage sprints, use Kanban boards with WIP limits, track velocity, generate burndown charts, manage your team and invite members. Sign in with Google and start working in seconds.
What's the difference between Scrum, Kanban and Hybrid?
Scrum uses fixed-length sprints (1-4 weeks) with 4 ceremonies (Planning, Daily Standup, Sprint Review, Retrospective) and 3 defined roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team). It tracks velocity and burndown. Kanban uses continuous flow with no sprints — work is pulled when capacity is available. It uses WIP limits, column policies, swimlanes and Class of Service. It tracks CFD, lead time, cycle time and flow efficiency. Hybrid (Scrumban) combines optional sprints with WIP limits and flow metrics — giving you the planning rhythm of Scrum with the flexibility of Kanban.
How does the Kanban board work?
Keisen's Kanban board features customizable columns with configurable WIP limits that show visual status (green = under limit, orange = at limit, red = exceeded). You can define explicit column policies (e.g., "Max 24h in this column", "Requires code review"), use 5 swimlane groupings (Class of Service, Assignee, Priority, Tag, None), and categorize work with 4 Classes of Service (Standard, Expedite, Fixed Date, Intangible). Cards are managed by drag-and-drop.
How does sprint management work?
Sprints follow the complete lifecycle: Planning (select stories from backlog, set capacity by team member), Active (track progress with burndown chart, daily standup notes, blocker detection), Review (evaluate each story with formal outcomes: Approved, Needs Refinement, Rejected, plus stakeholder feedback and formal decisions), and Completed (automatic velocity calculation, retrospective link). Sprint duration is configurable from 1 to 4 weeks.
How does the 7-state story workflow work?
Every user story follows 7 states: Backlog (new, unprioritized) → Refinement (being analyzed, acceptance criteria added) → Ready (meets Definition of Ready, estimation done) → In Sprint (committed to a sprint) → In Progress (development started) → In Review (code review / QA) → Done (all acceptance criteria met). Only stories marked as "Ready" can be added to a sprint, enforcing proper grooming.
How do user stories work in Keisen?
User stories follow the "As a... I want... So that..." template. Each story includes: MoSCoW priority (Must, Should, Could, Won't), acceptance criteria (checklist of conditions for "Done"), story points (estimated via Planning Poker), Class of Service (Standard, Expedite, Fixed Date, Intangible), business value (1-10 scoring), tags for categorization, dependencies on other stories, and assignee. Stories also track actual hours and custom progress percentage.
What is MoSCoW prioritization?
MoSCoW is a prioritization technique used in Keisen's product backlog. Each story is classified as: Must Have (critical, project fails without it), Should Have (important but not vital), Could Have (desirable if time permits), or Won't Have (out of scope for now). The backlog can be sorted by MoSCoW priority, and swimlanes can group cards by priority level on the Kanban board.
How does the Estimation Room integrate with Agile Process?
Keisen's Estimation Room integrates directly with the Agile Process Manager. From any user story, you can launch a Planning Poker session using Fibonacci, T-Shirt, PERT (3-point), Bucket, Decimal, Dot Voting or Five Fingers methods. Team members vote anonymously, discuss differences, and reach consensus. The final estimate is set by the Product Owner and saved as story points on the story. Only Development Team members can estimate — the Product Owner can only set the final value.
What is Class of Service in Kanban?
Class of Service categorizes work items by their urgency and nature: Standard (blue) — normal FIFO processing, respects WIP limits; Expedite (red) — urgent work that can exceed WIP limits and is processed immediately; Fixed Date (purple) — work with an immovable deadline; Intangible (grey) — technical debt or infrastructure work with no immediate business value. You can group the board by Class of Service using swimlanes.
What are swimlanes and how do they work?
Swimlanes are horizontal groupings on the Kanban board. Keisen supports 5 types: Class of Service (Expedite on top, then Fixed Date, Standard, Intangible), Assignee (one row per team member), Priority (Must → Should → Could → Won't), Tag (one row per tag), and None (classic flat view). Swimlanes help visualize workload distribution, identify bottlenecks per category, and manage parallel workflows.
How does the Sprint Review work?
Keisen implements Sprint Review as a formal Scrum Guide 2020 event. The Scrum Master conducts the review, recording: demo notes for each story demonstrated, story-level outcomes (Approved, Needs Refinement, or Rejected for each story), stakeholder feedback from attendees (PO, SM, developers, stakeholders, guests), formal decisions (action items, backlog changes, scope changes, technical decisions) with assignees and due dates, and lessons learned. A sentiment score (1-5) captures overall team mood.
What is the Daily Standup feature?
Each sprint includes structured daily standup tracking. Team members record three things: What did you do yesterday?, What will you do today?, and Any blockers? Blockers are automatically detected and flagged. Standup notes are saved per member per day, creating a historical log that helps identify patterns, recurring blockers and team velocity trends.
How does team capacity planning work?
Keisen offers dual-view capacity planning: Scrum Standard View shows velocity, throughput and suggested story points per sprint. Hours View shows available hours per member (configurable hours/day), allocated hours, and utilization percentage. Each team member has configurable capacity hours per day (default 8), skills for the skill matrix, and unavailable dates (vacations, holidays) that automatically reduce sprint capacity.
What is the Skill Matrix?
The Skill Matrix visualizes your team's competencies in a grid. Each team member lists their skills (e.g., React, Python, UX Design, Testing), and the matrix shows coverage across the team. This helps sprint planning by identifying skill gaps, balancing workload across specialists, and making informed assignment decisions. It's particularly useful for cross-functional Scrum teams.
How do WIP limits work?
WIP (Work In Progress) limits cap the number of items allowed in each Kanban column. When a column is under the limit, the header shows green. At the limit shows orange. Exceeding the limit shows red. This prevents bottlenecks and multitasking. Expedite items (Class of Service) can exceed WIP limits when urgent work needs immediate attention. WIP limits are configurable by the Scrum Master / Service Delivery Manager.
What is a Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)?
The CFD is a Kanban metric that shows the count of work items in each status over time, stacked as colored bands. It reveals: bottlenecks (widening bands), throughput (the rate items reach "Done"), WIP trends (total active items), and lead time approximation (horizontal distance between bands). It's the primary diagnostic tool for Kanban teams and is available in Kanban and Hybrid frameworks.
What are Column Policies?
Column Policies are explicit rules that define when a work item can enter or exit a Kanban column. Following Kanban Practice #4 (Make Policies Explicit), Keisen lets you define policies per column — for example: "Requires acceptance criteria defined" for Refinement, "Max 1 item per person" for In Progress, "Requires code review approval" for Review, or "All acceptance criteria met" for Done. Policies are visible in column headers and help teams build consistent workflow habits.
What Scrum roles and permissions does Keisen support?
Keisen implements Scrum Guide 2020 compliant roles with a fine-grained permission matrix: Product Owner (backlog management, story creation, prioritization, final estimate, member assignment), Scrum Master (sprint management, facilitation, retrospective, WIP configuration), Development Team (estimation via Planning Poker, self-assignment, own story movement). For Kanban, equivalent roles are Service Request Manager (SRM) and Service Delivery Manager (SDM). Stakeholders have view-only access. Each action has specific role-based access control — see the full permission matrix.
How do Kanban roles differ from Scrum roles?
In Kanban projects, Keisen remaps Scrum roles to Kanban equivalents: Product Owner → Service Request Manager (SRM) who manages incoming requests and prioritizes the backlog, Scrum Master → Service Delivery Manager (SDM) who manages flow, monitors WIP limits and facilitates improvement meetings, Development Team → Team Members who pull work and self-assign. The permission matrix stays the same — only the terminology changes to match Kanban conventions.
What metrics and charts are available?
Metrics adapt to your framework: Scrum gets Velocity tracking, Burndown/Burnup charts, Sprint health scoring, Estimation accuracy. Kanban gets Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD), WIP distribution, Flow efficiency, Work item age. All frameworks get Lead Time and Cycle Time (live calculation), Throughput metrics, Team workload analysis, Scope change tracking, and Commitment trend analysis. Metrics are displayed in a dedicated dashboard with interactive charts.
How does the Retrospective integrate with sprints?
After completing a sprint, Keisen links it to an integrated Retrospective board. You can choose from 6 templates: Start/Stop/Continue, Sailboat, 4Ls (Liked/Learned/Lacked/Longed For), Starfish, Mad/Sad/Glad, and DAKI (Drop/Add/Keep/Improve). The retrospective follows guided phases: Create → Brainstorm → Group → Vote → Discuss → Finalize. It includes sentiment voting, weather icebreakers, coach tips, and action items tracking. For Kanban, retrospectives can be scheduled at any cadence.
How does the Audit Trail work?
Keisen tracks every change in your agile project with a complete audit trail. It logs 11 actions (create, update, delete, move, estimate, assign, complete, start, close, invite, join/leave) across 5 entity types (project, story, sprint, team, retrospective). Each entry records who performed the action, when, the previous and new values, and which fields changed. The audit log is filterable by action type, entity, user and date range.
Can I export project data?
Yes, Keisen exports to Google Sheets with 5 formatted sheets: Product Backlog (all stories with metadata), Sprint Planning (timeline and allocations), Team & Capacity (roster with skills and capacity), Retrospective (items, sentiment, action items), and Aggregated Metrics (velocity, throughput, lead/cycle time). The export uses Google Sheets API v4 and requires Google Sign-In.
What are story dependencies?
Story dependencies let you define blocking relationships between user stories. If Story B depends on Story A, it means A must be completed before B can start. Dependencies help the Product Owner sequence the backlog correctly and prevent the team from starting work that's blocked by incomplete prerequisites. Dependencies are visible on the story card and in the backlog view.
Can I switch frameworks after creating a project?
The framework (Scrum, Kanban, or Hybrid) is set when you create the project and determines the available tabs, default columns, roles and metrics. If you need a different framework, you can create a new project with the desired framework and move your stories. The Hybrid framework is a good starting point if you're unsure — it supports both sprint-based and flow-based work.
Can I use Keisen for remote agile teams?
Absolutely. Keisen is a web application accessible from any browser, designed for both remote and co-located teams. Features like real-time collaboration, team invites with role assignment, daily standup tracking, integrated retrospective boards, and Google Sheets export make it ideal for distributed agile teams. All team members can access the backlog, board and metrics simultaneously.
Does the Agile Process Manager work on mobile devices?
Yes, Keisen Agile Process Manager is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, and desktop browsers. You can manage your backlog, track sprints, and monitor metrics from any device — no app download needed. The interface adapts to your screen size for the best experience.
How does Keisen compare to Jira or Monday.com?
Keisen offers 3 agile frameworks in one tool (Scrum, Kanban, Hybrid), Scrum Guide 2020 compliant role permissions, built-in Estimation Room integration with 7 estimation methods, integrated Retrospective boards with 6 templates, a team skill matrix, a complete audit trail, and Google Sheets export — all for free. Unlike complex enterprise tools with per-user pricing and months of setup, Keisen is designed for teams that want powerful agile features with immediate productivity.
