More focused on product development than consulting, it doesn't have time trackingand it's not as open as we'd like it to be.
We love some of its features and its quick UI.

We used it until now, we can customize it easily but its data structure is too deeply rigid for us.

Abstract - PLOG 2013
Mutuated from scrumdo, allow a higher level planning that is useful to "get the big picture" when managing big projects.
Could also be used to present the customer with a more familiar "waterfall-like" planning.
