Roundrush
The optimized agile workflow out of the box for tech teams
About Roundrush
Roundrush is a workflow management platform and agile methodology built specifically for software and IT teams. It merges practices from SCRUM, KANBAN, TDD, and XP with OKRs and Shu-Ha-Ri principles, organizing work into time-boxed "Round" micro-iterations and focused "Rush" sprints to help teams ship higher-quality deliveries.
