Use Cases

Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that agile approaches are in tune with the demands of our time. We live in a dynamic, fast-paced world—flexibility is a must. In software development, agile processes like Scrum have become the standard. At ALEAS, we’ve been early adopters of agile practices, which is why we’ve paid special attention to agile and hybrid processes in the development of our board.

ALEAS Board is the ideal solution for implementing agile processes or establishing a hybrid agile framework like STAGILE® in your organization.

ALEAS Board Features for Agile & Hybrid Workflows: In the past, we used large whiteboards and countless sticky notes to plan our sprints. But with today’s distributed teams, digital alternatives are essential. The ALEAS Board is the perfect solution for remote teams, enabling easy and productive teamwork despite time zone or geographical differences.

Data Security: With ALEAS Board, you can create as many boards as you need. Plus, you don’t have to worry about data security. Different user roles allow you to manage permissions for each board individually.

Flexible Layout: Using the template library, you can create new board layouts with just a few clicks. The template manager includes Kanban boards, various retrospectives, and the full STAGILE® templates, including Sprint, Masterplan, Project Scope, Risk and Opportunity Radar, and more.

Sticky Notes with Extra Features: Sticky notes are the star of any Scrum board. While physical notes have limitations, IntelliSticky offers a range of additional features, including story points, status, links, due dates, and more. And no more wasting time trying to decipher your colleagues’ messy handwriting! The Linked Sticky feature is especially useful for scaled teams.

Connection Lines: With the connection line feature, you can group tasks, create diagrams, or visualize a critical path.

Jira® HotSync: The Jira® integration allows you to easily sync your tasks with Jira®. For each board, you can decide whether to activate the connection with Jira®.

Easy Export: With various export functions (PDF or Excel), you can easily create copies for documentation or share the board with external parties.

Efficient Meetings: ALEAS Board makes your meetings more efficient and shorter, thanks to features like the Scrum Clock or the Info Bar, which lets you check the burn-down ratio at a glance.

STAGILE® is a powerful hybrid framework that has proven its value over many years and is continuously being refined. STAGILE® can be used in product development, agile hardware development, agile systems development, as well as in strategic implementation and agile organizational and team management.

Use Cases

ALEAS Board is ideal for retrospectives, whether your team is meeting together on-site or remotely.

A retrospective is a great opportunity to gather feedback and improve team collaboration. Whether you’re using agile methodologies in general (such as STAGILE®) or have a very specific goal, the underlying motivations are usually similar:

Find out what went well,
identify the root cause of problems,
define action steps to make the next Sprint better,
give the team responsibility for improvement (active participation).

With ALEAS Board you can make your retrospectives more efficient and productive and save yourself a lot of time:

The Template Manager includes several Lessons Learned templates that you can add to your board in a few seconds. This means that no lengthy preparation is necessary. Of course, you can also customize templates as needed using the Template Editor or create your own template and share it with your community. Our digital stickies are not only easy to read for everyone, users can also add screenshots or additional information right away. With the Assignee feature, board members can assign themselves to a sticky if they share a teammate’s point of view. Actions can be easily tracked with the personal task list. Ideal for distributed teams, the ALEAS Board gives every employee the ability to share their ideas with others in real time, no matter where their desk is located. All changes are automatically saved and are therefore immediately visible to all users.

Use Cases

Meetings are essential for communication, decision-making, and team-building within a company. At the same time, they are one of the biggest time sinks in the workday. Fortunately, with ALEAS Board, you can easily improve your (remote) meetings and turn them into a positive experience for everyone.

Seamless Collaboration: One of the biggest challenges in (remote) meetings is keeping everyone on the same page. Our virtual workspace allows you to store all relevant information in one place and visualize key discussion points that everyone can access from anywhere. Any changes made are visible in real-time.

Presentation Mode: ALEAS Board features a presentation mode with a built-in Scrum Clock, designed specifically for remote teams. The presenter can control the board for all viewers, with updates like new sticky note text being transmitted in real-time.

Pen Tool: The Pen Tool lets you quickly add handwritten notes directly onto the board—a particularly useful feature for brainstorming sessions. You can use the Pen Tool with a mouse or a stylus, such as on a tablet.

Sticky Notes: With IntelliSticky, you can easily assign tasks to team members (owners or assignees) and track the status, ensuring nothing gets overlooked.

Templates: Our template library includes various meeting templates that you can easily insert into your board.

Project management

Visual collaboration is ideal for executing projects. A digital workspace provides clarity for the entire team, from brainstorming to project completion. ALEAS Board helps project managers with concept creation, resource allocation, tracking project progress, documenting for various stakeholders, and more.

Template Library: Start your project without long preparation using one of our free templates.

Sticky Notes: Assign tasks to your team members using IntelliSticky. Each sticky note can have one owner and up to five assignees. You can color-code your stickies and track progress with various status options. With Linked Sticky, you can place the same sticky note on multiple boards, which is especially useful for project program structures or overlapping projects.

Connection Lines: Use connection lines to link sticky notes, visualizing a critical path or workflow.

Task List: Each team member can view all their assigned tasks in their personal task list, giving them a clear overview of what needs to be done.

Filter Bar: With the filter bar, you can quickly filter sticky notes by user, status, color, due date, and more with just one click.

Backup Function: With just a few clicks, you can create a backup of the current version of your board, which you can review or restore at any time. This is especially useful for documenting progress at key stages of the project.

User Permissions: Thanks to various user roles, you can precisely control access to the board—some team members may only need view rights, while others require full functionality.

Jira® Integration: You might want to use ALEAS Board for high-level planning and another tool, like Jira®, for detailed tasks. With the Jira® integration, you can synchronize your sticky notes in both directions.
