SwiftKanban (NimbleWork, formerly Digité) is one of the most serious Lean/Kanban tools out there: cumulative flow diagrams, lead-time and cycle-time scatterplots, Little’s Law and Monte Carlo forecasting, classes of service, advanced WIP, and Enterprise Services Planning. ScrumDo respects that pedigree and matches the core flow math — then keeps it attached to self-interpreted customer stories, cost-of-delay sequencing, and governed BYOA agents on the same card, instead of in a flow-analytics layer beside the work.

Best fit for ScrumDo
Choose ScrumDo when you want SwiftKanban-grade flow forecasting but need it attached to customer evidence, cost-of-delay sequencing, and governed agents on the same card.
Typical breaking point
SwiftKanban stays a flow-analytics tool when the deeper need is to keep the signal, the economics, and governed agent work on the same record as the flow data.
Migration mindset
Do not give up strong flow metrics — expect them. Move when the forecast needs to live next to the evidence and economics that should drive the decision.
ScrumDo matches the CFD, lead-time histogram, and Little’s Law forecast, but keeps the self-interpreted customer story that started the work attached to the same card, so the forecast and the why live together.
Cost of delay and classes of service actively sequence the work on the board, with the economics next to the decision — not only as analytics to read after the fact.
The agents you already pay for execute from an accepted card-spec with propose/execute/verify roles and proof, on your compute, with $0 markup — a layer SwiftKanban does not offer.
Evidence, spec, flow, forecast, economics, and outcome ride on the same card, instead of strong flow analytics sitting alongside a thinner work object.
| Question | SwiftKanban | ScrumDo |
|---|---|---|
| Cumulative flow diagram + lead-time histogram | Strong | Built in (Team+) |
| Little’s Law / probabilistic forecasting | Yes | Built in (Team+) |
| Classes of service and advanced WIP | Yes | Yes |
| Cost of delay sequencing the queue | Available | On the board (Business) |
| Self-interpreted customer story evidence | Limited | Source-linked on the card |
| Governed bring-your-own-agent execution | No | From an accepted spec |
| Forecast, evidence, and economics on one record | Separate analytics layer | Same card |
| Deployment flexibility (on-prem/private cloud) | Strong | Cloud, with Enterprise options |
ScrumDo turns stories into clear specs, gives humans and agents one place to work, keeps flow healthy, and leaves an outcome trail worth reviewing.
