KanBo vs. Jira
Why teams choose KanBo over Jira.
Our engineers and product managers were bogged down with manual status updates between Jira and other tools. With KanBo, we’ve regained hours of wasted time on duplicative tasks. Even better, we’ve accelerated product releases by improving work handoff between QA, tech writing, and marketing.
More Agile features, no plugins required
KanBo offers everything Jira has and much more. Our features are user-friendly, customizable, and don’t come with hidden costs of expensive add-ons.

Code smarter and ship faster
Collaborate on everything from roadmaps and sprints to bug tracking in one place. KanBo’s features are so intuitive that everyone can work together to accomplish big goals.
Collaborate and communicate
KanBo’s collaboration tools help teams to work together more effectively, and facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration among all members of the project team.
Use real-time information
KanBo’s data analytics and reporting features provide teams with a comprehensive view of project progress and performance, helping them to identify trends and issues, while maintaining high standards of data security.
Task Management
KanBo’s agile project management tools help teams to focus on their areas of expertise, and delegate tasks to the appropriate teams based on their skills and knowledge.
Balance Resources
Balancing available resources is an important factor in minimizing risks in a construction project. KanBo is a powerful tool that can help to manage resources effectively and avoid waste or excess.
Get more and pay less with KanBo
KanBo offers more features than Jira, at a lower price. All features and monthly releases are native, so you don’t have to worry about plugins or hidden costs.
Why Jira makes Agile teams run slow
1. Too complex
Jira is notoriously complicated for both devs and non-devs, and becoming a Jira Administrator requires a paid certification and 2-3 years of experience. Anyone can master KanBo in days, no matter their skill level.
2. No flexibility
Jira lacks a scalable architecture that’s easy to customize for different workflows and use cases. With KanBo, you can tailor your workflows to meet any need.
3. No management features
Jira is still limited by an outdated framework focused on bug tracking; it lacks OKRs, workload management, and cost calculations. KanBo is jam-packed with team and resource management features.
4. Expensive
Jira’s complicated subscription model is broken into three costly tiers that make you pay extra for simple features like templates, time tracking, and more. All of KanBo current and future features are native and included in your subscription.
