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
Cons
  • I do not see any disadvantages at the moment
It is the perfect tool to organize tasks- it helps to avoid working on too many items at one time (very helpful to identify priorities).

We use Kanban Tool to manage and have visibility for all of our clients. Each client is at different points within our process. The app lets us view our entire process and all of our clients on one convenient board. We can then drill down with each client card to identify tasks and follow up.
  • Visual designation
  • Ease of use and access
  • Connects with outlook to provide current tasks due today
  • Real-time updates
Cons
  • I like that the app continues to evolve
Most users looking at Kanban Tool will ultimately have a process that they work through. This is a great tool and very flexible for any business. Take your time to really review your process and the stages of the process. Kanban Tool will make it clear visually so you can see bottlenecks and areas to improve. I think this tool can be adapted to any company or process.

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.
Cons
  • 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.
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.

I use Kanban Tool for personal organization. I use it to list all my tasks, and keep up with them. One of the most important features for me is the time tracking. After a day, I can visualize how I used my time and how much I worked in each task.
  • It is simple and modular, so you can always add functionalities when you need them, but it doesn't get overcrowded when you don't need them.
Cons
  • It could improve the recurring card feature, giving more flexibility of how we can set the periodicity.
I found it very useful for personal organization. But I cannot say about the experience working as a team.

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.
Cons
  • 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.
The tool functions well if you would like to have an overview of your tasks. This can be done both by filtering by labels, or by hiding some of the columns that are not relevant for you during the day. Personally, I hide my backlog when I have created my daily tasks, and that allows for a simple overview when you just have your To-Do and In progress tabs open.
