Kendis review
A focused choice for enterprise Agile planning across teams, dependencies, and delivery.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kendis is a scaled Agile planning and delivery platform for organizations using SAFe, Scrum@Scale, or custom Agile models. It brings program and solution boards, PI planning, cross-team dependencies, ROAM risk registers, objectives and OKRs, roadmaps, Kanban workflows, hierarchical backlogs, WSJF prioritization, and Agile analytics into one environment. The fit is strongest for mid-market and enterprise teams coordinating work across programs, teams, and delivery systems rather than for a single lightweight project team.
The published plans show a six-month Free Trial with Program Board for PI Planning, dependency management, objectives and OKRs, ROAM risk registers, Jira integration, and Azure DevOps integration. Premium Cloud is $16 per user per month monthly or $14 annually, adding single sign-on, advanced security controls, premium support, and security review and MSA support. Enterprise Pro is $20 monthly or $15 annually, with self-hosted deployment, Active Directory and LDAP support, and premium customer support. ORG Views is $25 monthly or $23 annually, adding Kendis AI, strategic themes and global OKRs, roadmaps, timelines, Kanban boards, and multi-hierarchy backlogs. Annual prices are shown as discounted monthly-equivalent amounts.
Integration and deployment choices are central to Kendis. It supports Jira Cloud, Jira Server, Jira Data Center, Microsoft Azure DevOps, and Microsoft TFS, with two-way synchronization for Jira and Azure DevOps. Teams can use the web platform or choose self-hosted deployment, while ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO SAML, and two-factor support address common enterprise requirements. Email, chat, and documentation support are available. Choose Kendis when scaled Agile coordination, portfolio structure, or deployment control matters; consider a narrower roadmap tool when those program-level capabilities are unnecessary.
