How to Choose a Software Board Portal
A software board is an illustration of your team’s work process. It’s composed of columns which you can move issues (cards that represent tasks in Jira) into, reflecting the status of each issue in your team’s workflow. Cards in the last column which are usually considered completed means that the task is now ready to be archived, or deleted. This allows you to see the progress of your team and keep everyone informed of progress.
A well-chosen portal can provide many benefits for all stakeholders. From reducing appointment costs to improving transparency for shareholders and investors to facilitating communication between designers and engineers in the field, it’s possible to document and share results and decisions. A high-quality solution should be intuitive and easy to use by both board and administrator members, and shouldn’t require a lengthy learning curve. It should be cost-effective, and it should not include features that users will never use.
Look for a provider that offers a trial for free to let you test the software. This is a sign the company values your time, and is more interested in knowing your needs than about maximizing the value of a purchase. Find a company that provides induction packages and group training as well as support to help you bring other stakeholders on board.
Finally, make sure that the solution you choose is backed by world-class security features. This is critical given that the system will handle sensitive information, such as critical business information. Look for a vendor that offers secure storage services with advanced recovery capabilities for devastation and encrypted encryption that is managed by the customer.
