It’s Magile – a holistic system for agile organizations
rising systems AG

With Magile, we offer companies a comprehensive business software solution designed specifically for agile organizations. The solution was created because the isolated tools available on the market did not adequately reflect our own structures and ways of working. Magile combines:

• an application for project management,
• a module for organizational design, and 
• a fully integrated app for planning and documenting meetings. 

 This ERP system enables organizations to live agility holistically and economically, while allowing management and all stakeholders to access complete, up-to-date information across all projects at any time.  


Organizational clarity  

Magile defines a clear framework without interfering with the self-organization of agile or holacratic teams. This allows companies to detect early when projects are not running smoothly. Time spent, deadlines, and budgets remain transparent at all times. It is no coincidence that the software’s name echoes both agility and magic: with Magile, we aim to help projects feel as if they are managed effortlessly. This is achieved through a combination of: 

• real-time metrics, available at any moment, and 
• organizational clarity, which Magile establishes comprehensively across the entire company.​ 


Roles and functions visualized 

Instead of relying on role descriptions or job profiles that are often forgotten in drawers or email folders, Magile provides a visual representation of the entire organization. At a glance, employees can understand: 

• how everything is connected, and 
• what their role or function is within their projects. 

Rules are followed naturally because everyone knows what they are allowed to do—and what they are not. This enables highly efficient work, saves time, and eliminates many coordination loops, as responsibilities are clearly defined. In this way, Magile prevents one of the most common organizational pitfalls: diffusion of responsibility, which often slows down project progress and daily workflows. ​ 


Implementing agility with Magile 

Magile is not only a business software solution for agile companies—it also actively supports organizations on their path toward agility. 

This applies to: 
• entire organizations, 
• individual departments, or 
• specific locations or subsidiaries. 

 At the beginning, it is often useful to bring the visual organizational model to life in a workshop setting. When everyone comes together and simply explains what they actually do, a shared understanding of interdependencies emerges. Instead of assigning documentation to a single person and pulling them out of their role, all participants collaboratively build the software-supported representation of projects and tasks. This not only documents the organization, but also helps internalize it from the very start.​ 


Aha moments strengthen team spirit 

Even before Magile was developed, we supported change processes—and in almost every project, we experienced powerful aha moments, such as: 

  • “I didn't realize you were doing that - and that you're responsible for it.” 
  • “Let's schedule a meeting right away.“ 
  • “Now I finally know who to contact about this.” 

Change can only succeed when there is a clear picture of the current state. A kick-off like this creates exactly that foundation. 

 During this phase, it often becomes clear that: 
• functions can be consolidated, 
• responsibilities are unclear or misaligned, or 
• other organizational adjustments are needed.

 This gives organizations the opportunity to clean up thoroughly. With a clear picture in place, the journey toward an agile future can begin.
It is no coincidence that we chose a spiral as the logo for our software. It represents not only Scrum iterations, but also the continuous development and self-reflection that define agile organizations. Ideally, you should already schedule a fixed date to regularly reflect on your organization — together.
