LeanKit is a project management solution built around flexibility, data-driven analytics, and workflow automation. The software was acquired by Planview in December 2017 to expand that company's capabilities.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/hl/AQ/MQEI83KC3GEV.PNGPlanviewNot as sleek as Asana2018-12-11T16:35:22.503ZWe use LeanKit across our entire organization. It helps us stay organized and understand what everyone is working on on a given day. It also helps us stay accountable since it is easy to see if someone does or does not have something to work on. It can also be used to assist our project manager since she can see who is in charge of what project.,Kanban style project management allows us to see projects in a "pipeline" view and understand what projects are finished and what projects are not finished.
Email notification feature is great if you are collaborating on a project with another person. Tagging can be used to notify a teammate that a step has been complete, for example.
Simple UI is not cluttered or overwhelming.,It would be nice to have a place to provide daily updates besides a comments section; perhaps a section that has a date and a status color (green/yellow/red).
UI is not very sleek or modern looking.,3,LeanKit has made it easier for new employees to understand other employees' roles in the company by seeing their workload.
It makes it clear who is responsible for what project so that there is more accountability at our company.
It helps our project manager schedule new projects in a way that we all can see.,Asana and Trello,Asana, Trello, Google AnalyticsVerified UserEasy to use project management tool2018-08-06T14:30:50.597ZWe use LeanKit in the IT Department to organize action and steps surrounding projects. We use a ticketing system for support requests and LeanKit for handling details of project work keeping track of exactly where we are with each step along the way until projects are complete.,Keeps details organized.
Makes viewing overall progress in a given project easily identifiable.
We're able to get a good overview of what projects we complete over time and which ones are coming up.,None I can think of.,9,Overall affordable.
The ease with which we can demonstrate production over time.,,Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA), Veeam Backup & Replication, HappyFoxVerified UserLeanKit gets the job done2017-06-13T15:11:08.106ZOur IT department is using LeanKit to track both development and support/admin projects. Right now the use of LeanKit is limited to the IT deparment. The biggest problem it addresses is our workload and work tracking management. We use a form of Kanban and Scrum to run our projects, LeanKit's flexibility, makes it easy to handle different processes with different teams.,Board customization and flexibility. We are able to set up different work flows and check off points in LeanKit that was not possible with our other tools.
Work in progress, being able to enforce work in progress in each lane is valuable.
Ease of use. Creating different boards and different sections in boards is very easy to do and understand.,Import/Export of data could be more robust.
Reporting options are not as comprehensive as other tools.,8,LeanKit paired with Agile helps us get things done. That is the biggest impact that the product has had on our company/department.,VersionOne and Trello,Google Drive, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)Scot WolcottGood tool for repeatable steps in a process2017-06-02T21:37:34.879ZI used LeanKit to manage a variety of projects but primarily used it to manage the recruiting/hiring pipeline for all open positions. Different departments used it differently. For example, the marketing team used it to manage their editorial calendar and different process workflows. It helps to keep the whole company in sync and able to check progress at a glance.,Create a framework to move tasks through a set of 'stages'.
Kept our team organized and we knew what stage each project was in.,It has a very clunky interface. Super hard to set up and customize.
Not that pretty or slick. Works, but is no Apple.,6,Mostly positive on processes it made sense to use (like hiring pipeline).
Negative when thinking about how much time the boards take to set up if you end up not even using the board you created.,Trello and Wunderlist,Podio, SharpSpring, ExpensifyHeather NeisenLeanKit helps get teams on the same page2017-06-02T19:12:00.004ZLeanKit was a team initiative that began when we were exploring platforms to plan projects collaboratively as a team. The way we use it today is each team within the broader Marketing organization, be it the web team, digital marketing, content, etc. has a LeanKit to organize specific activities against, be it short term projects or quarterly goals. It helps us collect tasks, assign them to owners, and serves a centralized location for accessing and keeping track of workflows and progress towards goals.,Lanes - swim lanes help organize leankits into an unlimited number of functions, and can be customized for different teams and roles. For example, web teams follow an agile methodology and operated in sprints, so the lanes could be customized to capture each stage in that process.
Stick Notes - I am a big user of physical sticky notes to write down activities, so LeanKit sticky notes were a natural transition to digitizing them. Of course, being able to have tasks within each note helped me outline specific actions within a broader idea or topic.
Assigning of Activities - assigning activities and having it sync to your inbox helps people keep track of what they are responsible for, and can have a signal when other tasks get completed.,Leankit boards can get crowded, sometimes hard to scroll to the areas that are the most relevant for specific people.,8,Helped us be more productive, saved time on meetings to assign tasks, saved time on reviewing what has been accomplished vs. still needs to be done.Charles Wu
