Unique and experienced agile project management.

Bottom Line
Pivotal Tracker is easy to use agile project management that assists in focused collaboration for software development teams. Every user shares the same knowledge base within a project enabling complete transparency. This allows users to proceed with work without having to constantly be reporting their progress, and team managers are able to easily assess the progress within their project.
Pivotal Tracker brings the enhanced communication of Clarizen and the functionality of Teamwork. If you are an agile software developer, you are likely to fall in love with the efficiency, simplicity, and user-friendliness of this app. For the rest of the world, this application does not offer as many perks as some of their competitors. I suggest taking a look at one of our top apps if you are not in the agile project management industry.
When you are first brought into the Pivotal Tracker workspace, you are provided with the option to create a new project or see a sample project. I always suggest choosing the sample project so you can get a feel for how the tool will look when it’s in full swing. You will then be shown the “most-used” areas in your space. After this, we suggest exploring around to see if their unique setup would benefit your team.
Standout features offered by Pivotal Tracker include a universal overview which allows everyone in the team to see a “managerial” perspective on the project, the open API is a welcome sight to most developers who will be spending the majority of their day using this software, and workflows that are optimized for estimating time to completion for all tasks and projects.
Pivotal Tracker can be used by large enterprise companies, but the tool is optimized for smaller groups within an organization. Project specific groups to be exact. This is reflected on their pricing page which is a bit different. See the pricing page below or at PivotalTracker.com.

I love Pivotal. Our development team was hesitant to adopt a brand new program like this, but we are so glad we did. Highly recommended for software companies!
We were looking for a more all-encompassing tool. Like Neha said, if you are a software team, this will likely work for you
