Kanban tool for personal work optimization
I use this tool for personal task overview. The tool is very beneficial when it comes to structuring your work. The tool allows access to time tracking, sorting tasks and projects, both by color and by assignee. I greatly recommend this tool as it can be used for individual overview. Kanban board for teams and to be used in projects across the organization.
- It allows you to sort your work by labels.
- You have a large number of reporting functions to view your tasks and time.
- The board can be customized to suit your needs.
- At the moment the use I have for a Kanban tool is met.
- The Kanban tool support has e helped with finding the functions needed to optimize my work.

See at once what to do and where to go....
I do the whole project management for a Data migration project of a customer from an individual legacy system to SAP S4/Hana. Means Cards for data objects, for processes, swim lanes for departments like SD, Purchase, or Finance. I use it for control, status, and documentation. I use one for the whole project, and one for the actual status of each data object.
- A card for each data object documents and controls the whole migration process
- Cards for subtask like meetings, workshops and so on
- Organization of daily work by email integration
- the cards can be designed very individually, only the design is fixed.

Simple and Effective
PRO: Very simple and easy to start and use. Cards are very basic but can be customized and "powered up!"
CON: 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.
OVERALL: I shifted all of our projects and tasks into Kanban Tool. Information that was scattered across emails, other PM software, and ticket trackers is now consolidated in several boards, with a simple and minimalist view of everything.

- Overview of all cards, even from multiple lanes and boards.
- Can be customized from extremely simple, to highly informational.
- Support is great!
- File upload/integration.
- Card resizing.
- User/account management.

Great Plugin for Bascamp Projects
We are using Kanban Tool to better track all of our Basecamp cards, so that we can see the volume of work on each person's plate each day. It helps us to see where a project is in it's lifecycle.
- Allows you to see the flow of projects
- Allows you to move projects into stages
- Allows you to see what projects a certain person has on their plate
- Interface could be a little more organized
- Sometimes it gets sticky

Very good tool for project managment
I started to use it in my previous company. It helped me to organize and prioritize my tasks and to organize my daily tasks in the most effective way. I could give priorities to each task I performed and to collaborate with my team in real time.
- organization of tasks
- helps in identification of bottle necks
- possibility to work with the team in real time
- possibility to customize options
- I do not see any disadvantages at the moment
Kanban Tool is being used in places around our org to support agile-esque activities for remote teams. Our primary process is very stand-up meeting focused and the principles of the Kanban Tool are pretty close to in line with what we want to accomplish. It shows the movement of model-based activities across a project timeline.
- 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.
- There isn't a strong UI on the tool. Customizations can be difficult to make.
- There isn't a very robust communications component on the tool to facilitate conversations—it's WYSIWYG.
- The mobile story isn't fully developed yet. It could stand to be stronger on mobile devices.

Kanban Tool makes managing your projects much simpler.
Kanban Tool is being used by specific groups within the Technology department and the specific business groups that are supported by the same Technology groups. Kanban allows team collaboration between groups whether it's technology or business. Both groups can view, manage and maintain projects using Kanban. The problem that Kanban solves is miscommunication, regarding project status, requirements, and deadlines. Kanban keeps track of projects for all groups and notifies groups of any changes to particular projects. This saves a lot of time for everyone and ensures projects are completed on time.
- Kanban board is a great visual that shows every team member's projects and all the important information on a single page.
- Kanban integrates well with JIRA to track and manage projects and quickly retrieve specific information on a project.
- Kanban allows easy navigation with drag and drop features and smartly notifies the user of each action.
- Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
- Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
- I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.

Great for your productivity
Kanban Tool is used in almost all departments, from HR (used for example for employee agile evaluations) to marketing. I believe this proves that it has a lot of applications.
- time tracking which is very useful
- easy, intuitive interface (click-and-drag) - it's easy to implement it
- analytics and reports
- synchronization with other applications
- no iOS app
- no chat
- can't think of anything more

The best PM application that our team had tired and tested
We used Kanban Tool to dispense and monitor work for the entire team. With the various features available, we were able to track the projects' progress and send additional resources to the parts that needed it the most. All of our departments were applying the software, making it easy to fill new employees in, as showing the process steps to newbies could be done by virtually anyone.
- The time tracking feature is flawless.
- The process and progress visibility is great (the task cards are small, so that it is easy to view the process without having to scroll in or out and reading the entire headings).
- The uptime of the service is critically good. I had tested an alternative solution previously and had been often left cut off from my workflow due to service maintenance hours.
- 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.

Simple and straightforward
Kanban Tool is used as a bug and task tracking system. We use several dashboards. Each dashboard is used for a project/software. In one way or the other the card is a placer for a bug or task to be carried out through the life cycle of the software. Kanban is used across the whole organization. It helps track bugs and tasks as needed.
- Ability to add 'cards' which track bugs, tasks, etc.
- User can change the look of the cards (colors). Can change priority, Who the card is assigned to, Card Type, and many other customizations.
- User is able to add attachments and links to a card.
- User is able to add comments and track card history.
- Search functionality needs some improvement.
- Would be nice: ability to send a notification to selected people when a card is created/opened.
- Unable to sort cards - change their order visually.
