Speaking about innovation, Schilperoort mentions, “In short terms, we want to ensure that we also integrate functionalities in the field of Agile developments such as SAFe and Nexus within GETSCOPE. Consider, for example, the creation of a Master Backlog so that you can work on one project with several teams at the same time.”
The startup has built up a reasonable user group in Europe, but especially in strongly IT-oriented countries such as India and America where Agile is part of the development process, it is interesting to see if it can work together with strong business partners. “We want to focus on these countries this year. The market for project management tools will only increase in the upcoming years. I think it can be very interesting for example for startups in India, who want to develop a product or service but have a small budget to use a tool such as GETSCOPE. Small costs, all the functionalities they need and of course with a nice interface,” states Schilperoort.
GETSCOPE is a project management tool that is suitable for various branches and organisations, intuitive and user-friendly, but above all based on experience and proven project methods.
