Kanban Tool vs Remember the Milk

Likelihood to Recommend

Kanban is well suited for a fast-paced working environment for larger teams who want continuous communication with users. Kanban is good for rapid development and daily meetings for updates and statuses. Kanban is less suited for smaller teams or groups who don't require collaboration and constant communication with involved users. Kanban is time-consuming and it takes additional effort outside of your regular work to maintain and manage the tool.

Best suited for individual task management and not across an organization where visibility across different users is required.

Pros

It provides a good basic overview of where tasks are on a timeline (particularly helpful for a pull-based approach).
It provides a good collaborative space to have multiple folks commenting on multiple tasks.
It does a good job of managing very basic visual elements of an agile development cycle.

Cons

Some of the boards we have could do with more than 22 card colors, although it is enough for most projects.
Really looking forward to the iOS application, which is said to be coming in 2015.

Kanban Tool 6.0

Based on 4 answers

Again, this is a strong tool for software teams using Agile that are distributed across multiple geographies. It can be good for co-located teams too, but there are better platforms on the market like JIRA that provide a more built-out story.

Alternatives Considered

Kanban is superior to Scrum and AGILE because it can visually organize all your projects and data into one board. Kanban integrates with JIRA which digs deeper into the project data when it is needed. By integrating Kanban with JIRA, you don't need any other tool for project management that is effective for both the business and the development teams. Kanban is recommended for any user groups who wish to increase their efficiency to deliver products, transparency for all users and on-time productivity.
