Start free trialWhat is Actionable Agile Analytics?
ActionableAgile Analytics by 55 Degrees AB focuses on flow metrics and predictability: cycle time scatterplots, aging WIP, cumulative flow diagrams, and Monte Carlo forecasts. It imports historical ticket data from Jira, Trello, and Azure DevOps, helping teams make throughput, wait times, and bottlenecks visible.
The emphasis is process transparency and stabilising flow. Typical users are agile coaches, scrum masters, and team leads who interpret flow data and drive continuous improvement. Pricing and hosting differ by edition or marketplace; a free trial is commonly available. Always check the vendor site for current privacy or hosting statements.
For IT decision‑makers who need fast, defensible decisions on budget, team shape, or priorities, ProjectPULSE adds recommendations and what‑if scenarios, for example team changes, skill gaps, or scope changes. It is GDPR‑ready, hosted in Germany, and has a short learning curve. Data input via CSV or manual entry today; integrations with Jira and Trello are on the roadmap.
