Planning
SwiftKanban allows Product owners to define their backlog flexibly using a varied set of features available. Teams can decompose high-level stories( or Epics) in to small feature cards using a powerful mind-map interface, sort backlog by rank/ estimates, maintain Tracebility links between the cards for managing any dependencies and  define to-dos for granular work execution.

Execution
SwiftKanban's powerful Kanban board makes work execution extremely easy by allowing team members to simply move cards on the board, that same time, ensuring that the policies that have been explicitly set are adhered to. One can also track actual/ remaining effort for the cards or use SwiftKanban's auto-computed elapsed time metric.
