How to Choose a Software Board Portal
A software board is an illustration of your team’s work process. It is composed of columns that where you can place issues (cards that represent tasks in Jira) into, reflecting the state of each issue within your team’s workflow. Cards in the last column, which are usually considered completed indicates that the project is ready to be archived, or removed. This allows you to see the progress of your team and keep everyone informed about project progress.
A well-chosen board portal can bring many benefits for stakeholders, from reducing appointment costs to elevating transparency for investors and shareholders, to improving communication between engineers working in the field, business and designers, and making it easier to document decisions and share results. A quality solution is intuitive and easy to use by both board members and administrators and shouldn’t have a steep learning curve. It must also be cost-effective and avoid over-engineering features that aren’t needed by users.
Look for a vendor who provides a free trial to let you test the software. It’s a sign that a provider values your time and is more interested in understanding your needs rather than having a price tag on an offer. Find a service that offers induction programs and group training, and assistance in bringing others to join.
Lastly, make sure that the solution you choose has top-notch security capabilities. This is important since the system will handle sensitive information, including business-critical data. Find a vendor that provides secure storage, advanced devastation-recovery features, and a customer-managed encrypted.
