UPPSALA, Sweden, Oct. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Favro , an online planning and collaboration tool, is launching its enterprise platform bringing agile management practices to global, large-scale workforces. Favro Enterprise comes from the Swedish award-winning project management software firm Hansoft . Team Hansoft has spent the past decade designing efficient and innovative tools to enhance agile project management and team collaboration in organizations developing software and hardware products.
“We wanted to bring agile to all. Not just for product developers but also teams doing sales, marketing, executive management, everyone in the organization. With Favro we built a planning and collaboration tool as easy to use as the simplest tools in the market, yet powerful enough to to tackle today’s enterprise workplace complexities,” said Patric Palm, CEO and co-founder. “Enterprises can no longer afford to make a trade-off between ease of use for everyone and enterprise-scale collaboration abilities. With Favro Enterprise, they can now have both.”
As teams in modern organizations become more and more autonomous, they also start choosing their own tools. This has the side-effect of creating silos within organizations and making cross-team collaboration more difficult. Favro Enterprise, accessible both online and through its mobile app, is designed for large-scale organizations to easily fill collaboration gaps allowing teams to better adapt to changing environments and work towards bigger goals together. With Favro, enterprises can migrate to a cloud based tool liked by teams and CFOs alike, while maintaining the right level of IT governance, compliance, and security.
Favro Enterprise also allows organizations to add features and workflow power-apps where and when they need them. Teams can integrate Favro with other apps they currently use including services from Google, Slack, and GitHub to automate and stay synchronized. Teams can also use webhooks and the REST API to connect Favro to even more data sources, ensuring work is always relevant and up to date.
Leading up to the public release of Favro Enterprise, the free and standard plans have been in soft-launch. Early customers have been able to experience Favro Enterprise capabilities and the tool’s usability across their organizations. Unity Technologies , the leading global game industry software, is one.
“Our teams are creative and passionate in everything they do. That’s our culture worldwide. They work autonomously and pick the tools they think best will help them reach their goals. I’m impressed how rapidly Favro has gained popularity and is spreading from team to team at Unity,” said David Helgason, Founder of Unity Technologies.
“We really like using Favro. It’s very intuitive and easy to use, yet it has the power our developers need to maintain a project’s overview both on an individual, team, and department level at all times. This creates a well working alignment among global teams while also promoting team and individual empowerment,” said Ulas Karademir, Director of Core Technology and Operations at Unity Technologies. “Favro integrates well with other tools and the extra power-apps gives us the management capabilities we need to be efficient leaders and team players. It makes project management fun for us at Unity.”
