How Mendix supports Agile working

Mendix supports Agile application development by helping development teams gain better insights into business requirements, and giving the business easy access to the Mendix ecosystem.

Our purpose-built Agile tools support teams throughout the entire application lifecycle—from requirements gathering and ideation to building, testing, and deployment. We offer our own tooling (Epics), but you can also use other Agile tools with our Jira integrations.

Epics

Epics is our Agile project management tool available in the Mendix Portal and integrated into our
Studio Pro IDE. It is lightweight, making it easy for a wide range of collaborators to use. Epics is also integrated with other Mendix tools to support the full collaboration development cycle, including Mendix Portfolio Management and App Insights.

  • Supports Scrum and Kanban workflows
  • Works out-of-the-box with no additional setup required
  • Manage stories more efficiently
  • Change the status of your story as you work
  • Helps you save on extra license costs, as Epics is part of the Mendix ecosystem
