Kanban Tool

Vorteile

I've been a user of Kanban Tool for many years now. It was initially selected to support a high school competitive robotics team, but it quickly became my recommendation for my personal and corporate Kanban needs. The standout capability that I like over competing tools (such as MS Planner) is the convenience of taking a tasking email sent to me and forwarding it to a specific board with optional identifiers for swimlane, column, card type, assigned user, priority, and due date. This ensures that no task sent by email ever gets lost and is positioned to be processed immediately. It also allows me to use Siri to create tickets throughout my day.

Nachteile

There's nothing that I would change about the Kanban Tool.

Vorteile

I LOVE the Kanban style of project management boards

Nachteile

The boards were too basic and did not offer advanced functionality like Trello
Too expensive per user

Vorteile

Ease of use and ease of transfer from task managment apps, very nice customization features, you can make it look the way you can really overview all the tasks for work. I really like the power-ups, add-ons that make it easier to work on and keep track of tasks.

Nachteile

You can't choose which swimlane or column is the 'Completed' section of the table. This way, I get some negative due dates on tasks, even though I put it to the Completed swimlane, but since I can't make that section the finished tasks section, I have to manually delete the due date.

Vorteile

Ease of use, Ease of access and easy to share with colleaques

Nachteile

I have been using a kanban tool for managing my projects and tasks for the past month, and I am very satisfied with its features and performance. The tool allows me to create boards, lists, and cards to organize my work in a visual and intuitive way. I can also assign labels, due dates, checklists, and attachments to each card, as well as collaborate with my team members by adding comments and mentions. The tool has a simple and user-friendly interface, and it syncs across all my devices. It also integrates with other apps and services that I use, such as calendar, . The tool helps me to stay on top of my priorities, track my progress, and deliver quality results on time. I would highly recommend this kanban tool to anyone who is looking for a powerful and flexible project management solution.

Vorteile

Kanban is easy to use, visually appealing and a brilliant tool for viewing work processes with regular reminders sent directly to your inbox.

Nachteile

The timers on the blocks - for me its not a necessity and have to keep turning them off

Vorteile

The clean and intuitive user interface, it's really easy to feed and get information from the system, the personalization is great to, having your own domain, simplifies integration with internal systems, for us security is very important because we manage sensitive projects for our customers and Kanban Tool complies with our requirements like SSO, 2FA and user roles. The customization features are great too, you can start working with the system out of the box and once you are immerse in the daily activities you can customize the system to fit your needs it has lots of options at your disposal.

Nachteile

I think small business should have high quality options to start, it would be great that the free version had at least a 4 users for free, but well I understand is a business too

Vorteile

I find Kanban Tool to be incredibly useful because of its user-friendly interface. It's simple to set up and use, and it has a variety of useful features that make it an effective tool for managing tasks and projects. The color-coded cards and boards effectively display tasks, priorities, and progress, and the mobile apps make it easy to keep up with tasks and projects no matter where you are.

Nachteile

There is nothing wrong with the tools or features as they are functioning optimally and the design is excellent.

Vorteile

UI was rich and usable, it is efficient in tracking the tasks assigned and update status

Nachteile

Looks clumsy and not user friendly compared to jira or other tools

Vorteile

Ease of use and increased productivity. I end the week with a clear sense of what I’ve accomplished.

Nachteile

No cons so far, it’s working well for me.

Vorteile

Per la nostra azienda che ha introdotto, tra le poche in Italia, il metodo Kanban questa piattaforma è un sogno. Kanban Tool, infatti, è una piattaforma online basata sul metodo Kanban per la gestione delle attività e la collaborazione del team. Gli utenti possono collaborare in tempo reale sulla stessa board, aggiornando e visualizzando le modifiche istantaneamente. La piattaforma, inoltre, offre strumenti per analizzare le prestazioni del team e del progetto attraverso metriche e report, fornendo insight sulla produttività e l'efficienza

Nachteile

Per team con esigenze particolarmente complesse, alcune funzionalità avanzate potrebbero risultare limitate rispetto ad altre soluzioni più complesse

Vorteile

I love the ease of setup, of workflow control, and of visually being aware of the current state of affairs in my work.

Nachteile

I haven't had any issues so far, just enjoying it!

Vorteile

Definitely, by using a board in Kanban Tool, we can considerably increase our productivity in the execution of projects and streamline our work team. In addition, by using the time estimation reports and graphs offered by the platform, we can monitor the performance of our staff and generate graphs that allow us to continuously improve our work process, without having to wait until the end to know exactly the efficiency. . individual or group.Another great feature is that we can make our team work in small groups, combined with team members from different departments and achieve more dynamic results without clutter, since the contributions of all people are based on well-defined tasks, with estimates of time and total visualization by the entire work team.

Nachteile

Kanban Tool has become a tool for daily use for the execution of projects that require the participation of technical personnel, also for software development, completing tasks in a project, providing services and much more. However, I think that for large projects, we should invest time to correctly plan our boards and not design them with too many cards. I particularly prefer to separate the project into stages and design a dashboard for each one of them, and in this way I can more easily manage the activities and not generate views with too much information.

Vorteile

When I became a project manager, I originally discovered Kanban Tools and wanted a visual way of tracking small sub-projects with short life cycles. It was easy to set up and adjust to the project's demands.

Nachteile

Today, I can't think of any cons, as most of them have been worked out. However, I will suggest more ideas to improve Kanban Tools with continued use.

Vorteile

The organization and ability to track Jira tickets and issues. To see where every project is at in real time with documentation.

Nachteile

Easy to integrate once our engineers got used to it. As we scaled, it was a challenge to move from Slack and email (old habits die hard) but this board helped us as we grew. And we grew exponentially in the past 2 years.

Vorteile

It does everything I need from a Kanban Board out of the box, does so intuitively, and does not get bogged down in optimizations/extra features. However, if you want them, they're easy to implement.

Nachteile

It feels more like it was designed and documented by engineers rather than sales staff, and its no-frills design is a big selling point for me, but others may disagree. It's "simple out of the box, opt-in to additional features" also means a little more upfront configuration, but I still think it's good design. A few minor nice-to-have features (colored tags, saving multiple filtered views) might be missing or paywalled, but I haven't explored all the possibilities in their documentation yet.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Kanban Tool

Free out of the box use of swimlanes, expand/collapse swimlanes and columns, easy filters, splitting columns into sub-columns, expanding width of columns to be more than 1-card wide, etc. A lot of the clever visualization ideas I've seen in books like "Making Work Visible" and "Personal Kanban" are possible here that would be impossible or a nightmare to configure in other products I've tried.

Vorteile

Implementing Kanban boards on any industry not only helps improving time, resources and making life easier... If you know how to implement them. It's not that troublesome and thats what is great about this tool, finally a version online that is easily editable and adapted to your project needs is at your fingertips. No wonder why so many great companies are among their clients.

Nachteile

It's a little pricey for the small project manager but for bigger and more ambitious managers is this worth every penny.

Vorteile

Language and cultural differences didn't slow down the learning of the team. The visual ease of the tool is phenomenal. Recording important files, checklists, due dates, and handoffs became very smooth.

Nachteile

There were older execs on the board that still preferred to see a Gantt chart for the integration of different services. This flies against what Kanban was meant to do. There was no easy way to export a report and create a Gantt chart for others. External reporting as a whole is not easy.

Vorteile

Very simple and easy to start and use. Cards are very basic but can be customized and "powered up"!

Nachteile

Boxes and cards should have a better/smarter resize. I'm using the lowest zoom but since I have a lot of boards, cards, swim lanes, it can get crowded. However, it was the only product I've found so far that allowed me to do this.

Vorteile

I like the visual component and the cost effectiveness of it. I find the colour coding of different tasks helps me organize and balance my day.

Nachteile

The app can be a little difficult to navigate. It doesn’t have the same functionality as the website. I would like to have more control over my tasks via app.

Vorteile

- Multiple color for cards, we use one color for one competition tracking - Visual check list indicator - Priority assignment

Nachteile

- if the deadline was displayed on the card it could have been great for us- auto card shorting based on deadline

Vorteile

Poder escribir notas dentro de los "post-it" de las tareas a realizar

Nachteile

No he visto nada que no me gustará, podria decir el precio de 9€ mes por usuario

Vorteile

no training was needed - easy to use.

Vorteile

- Easy to use,
- add checklist feature,
- Priority per task feature,

Nachteile

So fare I use most of Kanban Tool features and it seems good enough, but if the team can made a feature by link color feature with Priority feature it will be better,
Sample,

For any task with high priority high , Red color will be linked to it automatically "it will be custom per priority per color"

Vorteile

Ease of use, price, sits in Teams for easy access.

Nachteile

I am new to the software and have bit yet found any major 'cons'
