Vertafore's IT organization needed a non-prescriptive tool to support diverse teams while maintaining workflow consistency. By deploying Planview LeanKit and integrating it with Microsoft Team Foundation Server, the company automated card and work item synchronization, eliminated duplicate data entry, and gained real-time visibility into bottlenecks and work-in-progress limits. The integration supported both release-based and continuous-flow boards, enabling teams to adopt context-specific practices while providing standardized data for executive reporting.

Key takeaways

Teams gained flexibility to use release-based or continuous-flow boards without losing enterprise visibility

Automated card creation from TFS work items reduced manual effort and improved time efficiency

Standardized data model enabled rollup reporting for management while preserving team-level autonomy
