Kanban Zone

Super Flexible, 100% Kanban

Kommentare: I am an SEO/ASO manager that runs a team of 9 people, all remote. This is a great way to get organized in whatever which way you need to be organized.

Vorteile:

I love the flexibility of the boards. You can create any board you or your team may need, making it super flexible. I also love that it is 100% Kanban and only kanban, vs other software that tries to be everything to everybody.

Nachteile:

There are some bugs here and there, but the team is always quick to respond and they get fixed very quickly.

Closest thing to a physical kanban board(s)

Kommentare: It's an essential tool for us in everything we do in our company and we've been happy that issues have been acted upon promptly and also the feature development is active and a lot of things we have wished for has become a part of the product, while also the product has not become feature bloated.

Vorteile:

It's the only tool I've ever found or used that is as flexible as a physical Kanban board but not filled with too much features. It's simple to take into use and it has all the essential tools we need to evolve boards as our workflows evolve.

Nachteile:

Originally there were some issues with e.g. card descriptions getting overwritten if edited by multiple users, but their team has been fast and active resolving issues

Good tool for development team

Vorteile:

While I'm not the administrator, it seems to be very configurable.

Nachteile:

There are times the board is very cluttered. This can be due to how the administrators configured it.

Kanban Zone surprisingly feature rich and easy to use

Kommentare: Kanban Zone has improved our productivity and has created new, deeper understanding of our planning and delivery. We've been working Trello for so long - we hadn't realized how much we'd had outgrown it. More importantly, how little value Trello gave us. We assessed a number of other tools like Monday, Jira, Asana, Business Map, and others and they all were underwhelming and expensive. In comparison, Kanban Zone has given us so many insights on how we work and how we can improve. What we didn't realize was that the app is so feature rich... each department in my company is able to customize their own board while still rolling up to our portfolio. We can now use 1 single tool for our work backlog, our portfolio, and our OKRs. Whether you're a Fortune 50 or a small startup, this tool helps accelerate planning and delivery as well as metrics to foster improvement.

Vorteile:

Easy to understand hierarchy structure, flexible configuration, workflow, notifications, versatility - able to create custom boards yet still have these roll up to a portfolio. Metrics are easy to capture as well.

Nachteile:

Customizing the boards can be tricky. It will take some training but it's well worth while. And if you're not intending to improve your process - that is OK. But once you see your process on a board, you'll start seeing where it needs to be fixed! Also, there are so many features, we've been slowing discovering more that we are enjoying. My recommendation is to have their team help customize the first boards until you totally understand how it all works.

An Excellent Kanban Experience

Kommentare: Superior customer service and training.

Vorteile:

The flexibility in creating custom portfolio boards that align with our workflow. They give our team access to updates/improvements in our process and provide senior management with transparency into our progress.

Nachteile:

Inability to print boards that would give us greater transparency across our organization.
