Five Flute is a flexible issues management platform that powers engineering teams of all sizes
and stages of development maturity before NPI by giving them a f ramework for iterative product
development. Teams that use Five Flute iterate faster, learn more per iteration, and require fewer
iterations to get to market. Here’s a few use cases that our customer’s commonly use Five Flute
for...
