Businessmap

Best Tool for Lean and Business Agility.

Kommentare: Its native adherence to the main needs presented by our organization, combined with the strong integration of the strategy into the functioning of the teams, was essential for choosing Kanbanize as a management tool for our organizational transformation. It enabled the use of our lean-agile operating model.

Vorteile:

Certainly adherence to lean and agile methods and practices and ease of use.

Nachteile:

I believe there is potential for further integration with tools for software development or native embedding.

Kanbanize, an agile project management software that increases productivity.

Kommentare: Kanbanize and implements easily and no learning curve is required for its use; The Kanban methodology has no prerequisites for its use and guarantees collaborative work with high visibility. We only need to know the flow of the process in which we are going to work and the activities that have been assigned to us, the responsibilities are established by task and many of the actions on it are carried out directly by those responsible for fulfilling them.Another important feature of Kanbanize that makes it flexible is that communication is optimized since the need to hold meetings is reduced because everyone can see the process on the board.

Vorteile:

Its implementation is quite simple since it allows to visualize all the impediments that represent an obstacle in the fulfillment of the activities planned in a project, in addition to having the possibility of describing comments and observations that indicate the causes of the deviations, to make the corrections. at an early stage.With the implementation of Kanbanize, we achieve customer satisfaction thanks to the improvement in delivery times and the increase in the general quality of the product or service that we have modeled.

Nachteile:

Kanbanize's strength is based on activity monitoring, which does not show or manage more than the information that is necessary, nor does it focus on the mathematical analysis of data and metadata to generate complex progress charts in a project. It does not focus, for example, on performing a percentage efficiency analysis based on compliance dates, or developing correlation graphs for variables identified within the project. This platform, based on the kanban methodology, is entirely based on agility, prioritizing quality, applying waste reduction, and being very flexible when it comes to successful implementations and continuous improvement.

Used almost 4 years but switched to other

Kommentare: When we had few users it was working perfect. Ease to set up project workflow, make different versions. If you start uploading link or attach some files to kanban cards or add more users, satisfaction is over. Computer slow downs enormously and in 2 years nobody suceeded to solve that. We were trying to minimase amount of data, minimise active users. Standard report ar eno use at all. If you want to have dynamic report and track business leads and projects in is necessary to connect extrenal software to make normal report which are more dynamic. Integrated reports are no use. This is my opinion as CEO who was running 4 factories and wanted to control project by kanbanize. We switched to Odoo.

Vorteile:

Friendly interface, easy to set up. Logic ir very simple and comfortable. We used in our sales processes and new product implementation proceses. 10-14 regular users were regulary connected. About 400-500 kanban leads. Pricing is ok. Could be free version for 3-5 users, it would help to promote software more.

Nachteile:

When we connected more users and opened more leads kanban cards it started to be extremely slow. Iphone or android application interface is different and does not have the same navigation functions. Reports are not comfortable. We used external software to generate report (dynamic reports) not static print outs. I see that IT guys more focus on functionality vut forget interface and reports to track project what is exactly CEO needs. For small company to play is ok. For bigger too weak.

We can streamline our processes and clearly see how marketing projects align with the company goals

Kommentare: Our team has been using quite a lot of features including the swimlanes to categorize
different types of work, and the WIP limits per process step to eliminate multitasking and
drive the progress of every task in progress. Thanks to the analytics module, we have been able to improve our efficiency on a team level. We find that the software is easily
adopted across teams and departments as other teams are using it too.

Vorteile:

Businessmap offers the customizations that we need in our department to stay organized, prioritize work, and track how our projects are driving the company's objectives. The timeline/calendar view allows us to visualize all projects we are working on and track their progress all in one place.

Nachteile:

I haven’t yet had any bad experiences using Businessmap.

Kanbanize = 100% Kanban Method

Kommentare: You can use Kanbanize on a single team/department (well, in fact, their pricing policy makes it worthwhile if you are about 15 users or more), across several teams, for a company area... or for the whole enterprise. It's one of the more scalable software we've ever seen.

Vorteile:

Kanbanize lets you effortless implement Kanban Method principles and practices to your company, gaining visibility of what is going and improving performance at all levels. It doesn't matter if it's a top-down strategy or a bottom-up initiative, Kanbanize will help you for sure.

Nachteile:

Flow-based analytics are spectacular, but the built-in tool for designing reports have a lot of room for improvement. Good news is that, if you need to gain deeper data insight, you can easily integrate Kanbanize with 3rd party business intelligence tools.

Kanbanize revolutionized our process

Kommentare: It’s changed the way we do business. What started as a way to track production in a fabrication shop has evolved and found a place in nearly every department within the company. Our Estimating, BIM/CADD, Purchasing, Project Install, Warehouse, and Manpower departments all use Kanbanize to track their work processes.

Vorteile:

Kanbanize has given us a platform to bring our teams together. What once was accomplished through emails and phone calls, is now accomplished with the click of a button. From design to installation and everywhere in between, projects are easily tracked in an easy to use and visually appealing Kanban board.

Nachteile:

It took a while for us to recognize and rollout all the features Kanbanize had to offer. On first glance the software is simple and intuitive, but there is so much power in the analytics, business rules, Google sheet imports and third party integrations. Once we realized the software’s full potential and learned how to take advantage of all it had to offer, things really took off.

The ultimate Kanban Board

Vorteile:

I suggest Kanbanize sincerely to anyone who wants to implement a modern Kanban system, maybe it can be even better than physical boards

Nachteile:

I would love a freemium version that is not limited in time, but only with limited functionality. I think it could help many love this software as much as I do.

The best Kanban tool

Kommentare: I love the flexibility of designing the board and the way I can visualize the whole system in one board.

Vorteile:

I really like the features provided by Kanbanize to fit the Kanban systems I designed. The application is simple and to the point.

Nachteile:

The charts, the cards' usability, and the lack of shortcuts really make it hard to use the application. Also, there is no mobile application.

Simple and helpful

Kommentare: Kanbanize made a better organization possible to fulfill my tasks, especially for development projects.
I became a more productive employee.

Vorteile:

It is very easy to deal with this app. Kanbanize allows in a very practical way to work with agile methods for project development/implementation. It basically works with to do/doing/done method, draggind the cards with all details. We can organize all ideas quickly before setting priorities.

Nachteile:

Sometimes it's a little bit difficult to find an old card to review a project. As I work in an environment with more than 50 Kanbanize users, and we create separated pages by department, I sometimes waste a little time (5 to 10 minutes) to find the card.

Great for a manager point of view

Kommentare: We're using to coordinate the tasks in a 20 people team, with 6 sub teams with different expertises (Development, UX, SEO, SEM, CRM, Content). We start 3 weeks ago and we could already identify our bottlenecks.

Vorteile:

The most interesting feature for my use, as a manager is the broad view, for many boards, simultaneously. This helps identifying bottlenecks and the flow of value.

Nachteile:

Prioritization of backlog is a not an easy task, as

Daily fun with Kanbanize

Kommentare: We are using it for all procedures in Company - Customer care use it for email comunication with clients, Developers use it for devs issues and management use it for their ToDos and can easily see what issues are opened in whole company.
It is really easy to use and defined workflow, automated rules (we love it). We finally have one system for all departments and same metrics and statistic (again easy to generate fo custom period)

Vorteile:

Easy to use and define workflow/rules Statistics about solved issues Great customer care

Nachteile:

Missing some stast, but they are on the list :)

Great product!

Kommentare: Great team, very supportive and interested in satisfying every client's personal/business needs. Well organized work, great job!

Vorteile:

Easy to use and deal projects with, easy to follow tasks execution/status, clear and easy to follow communication. Everything is well visualized.

Nachteile:

Nothing I can think of at the moment, probably budgets can not be well tracked, but that is not the main concern of this particular product anyway.

Flow Management for your entire organisation

Kommentare: We are using Kanbanize since 2017 for ourselves as well as all our clients and have time and again seen amazing results of several hundred percent throughput improvements or lead time reductions. But I have to reiterate my warning that the tool is only part of it and that it will need to be professionally implemented to really see these improvements.

Vorteile:

Where many workflow and Kanban Tools only take care of very simplistic workflows and any changes need to be made by an administrator, Kanbanize is highly flexible and user friendly and extremely powerful to map and track multi-level workflows and projects.Additional to the features, software support is critical and here the team at Kanbanize excels with a 90%+ resolution rate within the same business day.

Nachteile:

Many people do not realise that "a fool with a tool is still just a fool". Kanbanize looks very simple to implement and is very user friendly, but to really reap the benefits of a Digital- or Agile Transformation or any process improvement, it is imperative that one digs a lot deeper into the underlying organisational setup and workings.

Very flexible tool

Kommentare: My overall experience is very positive.Automated sequences of tasks area easy to realize with business rules.Each team can implement KanBan practices at their own speed and modify their board as an ever evolving tool.

Vorteile:

I like high adaptability. It makes it a bit complex to get started and finding the optimum way to structure your board(s) but in the end you can really create your own tailor made solutions.

Nachteile:

- for repetitive sets of tasks it is not possible to have default pre and successor relationships set up in a card template- for personal task planning I love to assign my tasks in outlook to week days at the beginning of the week, this I miss when using Kanbanize as my main task planning tool

Increase your productivity

Vorteile:

Kanbanize is easy to work with and helps a lot with setting up an agile method for internal workflows.The workflow is intuitive, and it will help you with organizing your projects, tasks, priorities, etc.The tool is flexible enough so you can incorporate it into your daily workflow without any problems if you are a small company.The interface looks modern and is really intuitive!

Nachteile:

It might not be ideal for bigger companies.

Tool to plan and execute project management effectively

Kommentare: Nice experience using Kanbanize

Vorteile:

It is a good platform which supports in managing and planning the project related activities easily.

Nachteile:

No cons so far in the platform, very nice

Agile Engineering - Kanbanize can make it happen

Kommentare: The team, [SENSITIVE CONTENT], answered questions, shared advice and made the business side of things work. We are a university, no other company with a tool at this level of capability would help.

Vorteile:

At the most basic level, Kanbanize organizes and manages the data. Benefits are realized in the first 10 minutes of use. After that, as needs grow, the capabilities are waiting for use. I can brief students on the process, and they are able to integrate their team. Most have never seen Kanban tools before. One of my project managers, who had not used the tool before, set up business rules and templates for a student simulation project with teams all over the world.

Nachteile:

There are no negatives. The closest I can come is a UI element in one of the upgrades. I asked about it and it was changed several days later.

Tracking multiple projects and multiple boards with a single Kanban software. This is Agility!

Kommentare: I am one happy customer who is using Kanbanize daily for the past 6 years. My work' priorities will be lost without Kanbanize.

Vorteile:

1) Project Visualization - colors! 2) Task tracking 3) Card templates 4) Multiple workflows on a single board 5) Swimlanes for categorizing work in any workflow 6) Seamless collaboration across teams from multiple departments 7) Create your own workflow, depending on your organization's processes 8) The software complies with every aspect of the Kanban method 9) You can learn how to progress with Kanban thanks to the build-in tutorials within the product 10) Automation

Nachteile:

The product's main drawback is that it is a complex Kanban software due to its many features, integrations, and functionalities. Thus, it takes some time to learn how to implement the product to its best within your day-to-day work. However, for everyone familiar with the Kanban method, using Kanbanize should be a straightforward process.

Massive improvements in project tracking and overview

Kommentare: Keeping track of multiple projects is a kids task with Kanbanize.

Vorteile:

The huge benefit about Kanbanize is the hability of visualizing huge boards by collapsing and expanding key areas, no other software alows you to do it

Nachteile:

As a license payer you do search from time to time alternatives due to high-ish price

Unique multi-tool with awesome UI

Kommentare: As a consultant a major part of my work evolves around process optimization or creating flow. I use Kanbanize to show clients how flow can be created, or how you can work towards an optimised process. Another part of my work is about business strategy consulting. Here Kanbanize is also awesome thanks to the possibility of relating boards and the portfolio lane. Kanbanize is always a great starting point for organisational change because it is accessible.

Vorteile:

Although feature rich, Kanbanize is easy to start with. Simple templates, explainers and a knowledge base are there to guide you if you need it. I knew Kanban when I started with Kanbanize and it was a great experience to work with a true Kanban tool. It felt very familiar and with a great UI it quickly became my favorite tool.

Nachteile:

Kanbanize offers rules for automation. This is really awesome. However, for me there are never enough rules, so I liked the limitation of rules the least.

Kanbanize will change how we implement and scale Agile.

Vorteile:

The vast customization of the visual workflow couple and the scaling of portfolio kanban make Kanbanize incredible value for the cost. this coupled with the top notch Customer Service and Support that lives at the Lean-Agile heart of the company.

Nachteile:

Most integrations are done via 3rd party software like Make or Zapier. Some would consider this a Con so I have included it here. I personally appreciate that Kanbanize chooses to remain focused on valuable features for customers over maintaining a suite of integrations that can already be done by other tools.

Life Changing Innovation!

Kommentare: I have been in the commercial software development business for 20+ years for Hi-Tech Industries and this is one of the finest products I have ever seen. Fantastic Product and Support. Regardless of your maturity level with the Kanban, Kanbanize will add amazing value to you and your team.

Vorteile:

This kanban solution is extremely powerful due to the simple intuitive interface design and the ability to quickly customize it to your work. It has a rich set of features and powerful integration. My favorites are Simple Cards Design, Easy Customization, powerful metrics, flexibility, and scalable views. It provides extreme power without complexity!

Nachteile:

Business Rules and extremely powerful but could be more accessible.

Kanbanize Journey

Kommentare: Exciting, challenging and wonderful learning experience.

Vorteile:

Straightforward and user-friendly. The information about most of the features I need are all available online. The support responds on time and follow up with me until solution is achieved. The specialist we have in connection with is also insightful and ready to help. We get reasonable advice and commendable suggestions. The features evolve overtime and my observations are taken always into consideration. We have just renewed our subscription and I tell you, most of I need even about renewal or payment is available online.

Nachteile:

Extracting more than 5k data result which, by workaround, advised by support was resolved. Analytics in the beginning which I also get to understand after board and users mature overtime.

Best Kanban Application used to date

Vorteile:

Integrating Kanbanize in to the Business was a fuss free affair due to the magnificent support network that Kanbanize offer. The ease of creating boards, cards, links, etc. combined with the plethora of functionality built in to Kanbanize makes it a very powerful tool.

Nachteile:

Due to the small amount of time that I have used Kanbanize, I have yet to come across anything that I don't like.

Amazing; best in class

Kommentare: Top-notch product and people; I can't imagine my work or personal life without Kanbanize.

Vorteile:

Board design is easy, has exactly what I need and nothing of what I don't need.

Nachteile:

Not great on mobile devices, though I typically don't need to use it on mobile.
