The lean-stack take

For a lean portfolio team it links strategic themes and OKRs to the plans of each agile release train. Program boards, dependency tracking and ROAM risks make cross-team work and its risks visible.

Best for

Organizations running SAFe on Jira or Azure DevOps that want PI planning, dependencies and OKRs in one tool.

Watch out for

About

About Kendis

Kendis is a web platform for scaled agile planning, built around SAFe Program Increment (PI) planning. It works on top of Jira and Azure DevOps, and its integrations page also names GitHub.

Written by lean-stack from Kendis's public pages. Vendors can replace it with their own description by claiming this profile.

Features

What Kendis offers

01

PI planning boards

Kendis provides program boards for in-person and remote PI planning. This supports the cadence-based planning at the heart of SAFe.

02

Jira and Azure DevOps sync

Vendor pages describe two-way sync with Jira and a PI planning tool for Azure Boards and TFS. Plans stay tied to the team's existing backlog.

03

Dependency management

Vendor pages cover dependency boards, and a Kendis Dependencies extension tracks links across Jira and Azure DevOps. This exposes handoffs that delay flow.

04

ROAM risk management

A vendor page covers risks sorted as Resolved, Owned, Accepted or Mitigated. Teams record and track risks raised during planning.

05

OKRs and strategic themes

Kendis has pages for OKRs and strategic themes for portfolio alignment. This links team work to portfolio goals, a core lean portfolio practice.

06

WSJF prioritization

A help article covers integrating WSJF with Jira. Teams rank features by cost of delay over job size.

07

Confidence vote and Inspect and Adapt

Help articles cover running the PI confidence vote, and a vendor page links PI objectives to Inspect and Adapt. This closes the plan, do, check loop for each increment.

08

Solution-level planning

Vendor pages describe a solution board and solution-level planning for SAFe Large Solution. Several release trains can plan against one solution.
