Integrated wiki for Project Documentation

A single page allows you to view all the relevant details for each card.

Cards in Mingle
  • Descriptions associated with each card allow full wiki mark-up and quick tagging for ad-hoc groupings.
  • Add screenshots or any other text/images of choice to every card.
  • Discussions in the form of comments can also be tracked next to a card. Relevant team conversations are always at hand.

Custom Project Properties and Workflows

Mingle recognizes that each team has a unique style of functioning, and does not impose a process. Properties and Transitions enable you to follow the process that works for your team.

Reports in Mingle
  • Set up your projects with custom properties such as "Owner", "Expected Date of Completion" and "Effort Estimate."
  • Transitions (e.g. "Development Complete") help setup your workflow, which is completely flexible and can be modeled according to your process.
  • Mingle also has a number of predefined templates, so you can be productive straightaway.

Break Down Complexity using Card TreesTM

The use of Card Trees can greatly reduce the complexities in your project hierarchy.

Tree and Configuration of Tree
  • Card Trees give you the capability to manage your project hierarchies by spreading them out in a tree format.
  • You can also roll up metrics from a lower level to a higher level, which can give you a quick look at each iteration or feature.
  • Card Trees are completely customizable. You can configure them as you need, filter through them, even view them in a simple list-like hierarchy view.
