Kanbanchi for G Suite vs. Planview AgilePlace

• If you need transparency around your workloads the product is great as it is easy to use and visually tells a story.
• It is ideal for SCRUM management as it plays into the ideas of Sprint

This tool enables the visual management needed in many offshore teams to easily and quickly see the pending work, work in progress and completed work.For teams that work with a waterfall methodology and do not have AGILE internalized, I believe there are other solutions from Planview or other providers.

• Great for supporting SCRUM as part of Agile deliveries. We use the ToDo, Doing and Done and build GANNT charts to facilitate resource planning.
• We use it at a department level to manage workloads and help staff know what work is waiting for them and the relative priority.
• We have deployed it across the organisation and also work with suppliers and offshore development teams to coordinate activities.

• Ability to color code cards based on type, giving better visibility to the variety of tasks a team handles
• Ability to set deadline dates and have those dates easily visible
• Flexibility in design the kanban board. It is easy to add a lane or make a change on the fly. Work doesn't have to stop and a long process created to make simple layout changes.
• Movement of cards is easy as well as the ability to connect cards to show dependencies.

• Occasionally hangs at login but this may be to do with our authentication service.
• It would be nice when grouping cards together if there was an option to lay them over each other in a fan arrangement.

• Planview LeanKit currently can't or should not be used as a central spot for data and collaboration. Particularly attachments are not well-handled.
• The portable side of Planview LeanKit is really lacking.
• We would appreciate some options to group or stack cards.

LeanKit isn't the best designed Kanban system I've seen, but overall it's pretty usable. The boards I've used are pretty complex, so it can be difficult to find things. I found that searching and filtering for specific cards was somewhat of a challenge. Dragging a card from one lane to another is kind of a fun way to get things done though.

We have used MS Project previously but ended up doing things in spreadsheets so KanBanchi has bridged this gap for us

I think that LeanKit is very similar to Asana's Kanban feature and Trello, but is much less sleek looking than Asana. Asana's clean and sleek UI makes me enjoy project management much more than LeanKit. It might sound silly that the UI makes so much of a difference to me, but it really does. Trello is also sleeker than LeanKit, but I still prefer Asana because it has more customization options and a better interface. We are actually going to look into switching to ClickUp because we wanted something with a better UI. ClickUp seems to have a great UI with a lot of customization options.

Good use cases for small/large teams

• We have seen great value in our planning for Agile deliveries especially when applying it to SCRUM.
• Using the product we have found it quickly surfaces resource constraints and blockers when planning for projects.

Incentivized

• Our team meetings are more direct and quick to get through thanks to the better visibility of the workload
• Easily being able to move cards between team lanes gives instant visibility to where the responsibility for the next step is needed.
