Overview
Favro is a planning and collaboration workspace made by a company in Uppsala, Sweden. It brings together Kanban boards, backlogs, spreadsheet-style sheets with calculations and hierarchies, roadmaps, and written docs. A single card can appear on several boards at once, so different teams can plan around the same work without making copies. Team roadmaps can roll up into dashboards for managers and executives. The product supports Kanban, Scrumban and SAFe, and its customer list leans heavily toward game studios: the company names Unity, Electronic Arts and Double Fine among its customers. Pricing is per user and sold in fixed user buckets of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and more than 100, so a team of 3 pays for 5 seats. On annual billing, Lite costs 5.10 USD per user per month and Standard costs 6.80 USD. Enterprise is priced by quote and adds SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, timesheets and 25,000 automation actions. Each paid plan has a 14-day trial with no card required. Integrations include two-way sync with Jira and Miro, GitHub and GitLab commit linking, Slack, Google Drive, OneDrive, Google and Outlook calendars, Zapier, Unito, and a REST API with webhooks. The vendor says it holds ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 certification. The main limitation is that there is no native Gantt chart or resource allocation. Reviewers also report slower performance when many people join one project, and some say the board-and-collection model takes time to learn.
