Return to Scrum Board Software With Comprehensive CRM
The Challenge for Small Businesses
For small businesses, staying organized isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about survival. When your team is stretched thin, the consequences of disorganization become painfully apparent:
Missed Deadlines
When your marketing team can’t see what the development team is working on, campaign launches get delayed. A recent study found that 64% of small businesses regularly miss project deadlines due to poor visibility across teams.
Workflow Chaos
Without a centralized system, your team wastes hours searching for information across emails, spreadsheets, and chat apps. This fragmentation leads to duplicated efforts and inconsistent processes.
Customer Disconnect
When project management is separate from customer data, opportunities get missed. Your sales team promises deliverables without knowing production timelines, creating expectation gaps that damage relationships.
Take Sarah’s web design agency as an example. Her five-person team was using separate tools for task management and client information. When a major client requested urgent changes to their website, the request got lost between systems. By the time Sarah’s team addressed it, the client had already moved on to a competitor.
How ClearCRM Solves This
ClearCRM transforms how small businesses manage projects and customer relationships by bringing everything into one unified platform. Here’s how it works:
Unified Task Management
ClearCRM’s Scrum board gives you a visual overview of all your projects. Drag-and-drop cards between columns to update status instantly. Create custom workflows that match your business processes, not the other way around.
Customer-Centric Projects
Unlike standard Scrum board software, ClearCRM connects every task to relevant customer profiles. When viewing a client record, you see all associated projects. When working on a task, you have instant access to client history and requirements.

Step-by-Step Use Case: From Chaos to Clarity
Let’s see how Brightwave E-commerce, an online retailer with 12 employees, transformed their operations with ClearCRM:
The Problem
Brightwave was struggling with order fulfillment delays. Their development team used a basic Scrum board for feature work, while customer service tracked orders in a separate CRM. When customers asked about custom orders, there was no easy way to check status or prioritize urgent requests.
The Solution
After implementing ClearCRM, Brightwave created a unified workflow:
- Customer orders automatically create tasks in the development sprint backlog
- Tasks move through customized stages: Order Received → In Production → Quality Check → Ready for Shipping
- Customer service can see real-time status without interrupting the development team
- Automated notifications keep customers informed at each stage
- Management gets daily reports on fulfillment metrics and bottlenecks
The Results
Within just 30 days of implementing ClearCRM, Brightwave experienced:
- 40% faster order processing times
- 25% reduction in customer support inquiries about order status
- 15% increase in repeat orders due to improved customer experience
- 8 hours per week saved on manual updates and status meetings
Benefits That Deliver Results
Time Savings
Teams using ClearCRM report saving 12+ hours per month on manual updates and status meetings. The automated sprint transitions and customer notifications eliminate repetitive tasks, freeing your team to focus on value-adding work.
Improved Accountability
With clear task ownership and visual progress tracking, 95% of ClearCRM users report fewer missed deadlines. The transparency creates natural accountability without micromanagement, improving team morale and performance.
Enhanced Collaboration
By connecting project data with customer information, teams collaborate more effectively. Marketing knows what features are coming, sales understands delivery timelines, and development sees the customer impact of their work.
