A nice tool to have in order to help teams be informed of tasks in process and in the backlog
- Visual kanban board that is easy to customize as the team's needs change
- Real time collaboration allowing teams working remotely to stay up to date on current status
- Allows versatility for how a team needs to capture details on the work at hand by utilizing card icons, card types and custom data points
- Card scoring is easy to setup and provides the team the ability to set values to better prioritize their backlog
- Ability to create & access in app reporting
- Better administration of setting up & updating user access to boards
Agile + Lean Productivity is Possible!
- Customizable features including column names, icons, tags, colors of cards
- Report capabilities
- Read only access for those who need to see the board but not add to it
- The red connection shortcut "C" makes me think of a meme or a conspiracy theory board
- Dark backgrounds do not automatically make the text white in the description field of the card (if I pick dark grey, the text will still be black)
- Create a report with the ability to view the timeline with both current & completed cards
A Beginner's Experience with Planview LeanKit
- Organizes the tasks in terms of parent cards and individual tasks involved.
- Helps keep track of deadlines and acts as a reminder and diary system.
- Enables us to filter by users and other features (which I am still learning) for convenience.
- Helps clearly define the responsibilities of each of the users/team members.
- Eliminate the need for repetitive steps e.g. inputting of header (there may be others).
- Add a filter for items or activities that are overdue or coming due, with the ability to set the date.
The tool we were looking for
- Visual management.
- Organizing.
- User friendly.
- Admin panel.
- Power BI integration.
Great tool to provide visibility to team workloads
- 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.
- Ability to add more than 1 visual cue to the card. We use custom icons and sometimes more than 1 is appropriate but you have to choose which is most important since only 1 can be applied.
- Better visibility to board access from the user administration screens. Currently have to run 1-2 reports to see this information. Would like to be able to click on a user within Configure Users and see what boards they have access to quickly.
A LeanKit of project simplicity
- Robust cards
- Drag and drop
- Easy grouping
- More flexibility in the card fields
- Report functionality from customized fields
LeanKit, One Kanban to rule them All
- Kanban
- Workflow views
- Agile Boards
- Mobile App
Planview LeanKit helped us find ourselves and quickly became the centre of our transformation towards Agile.
- Planview LeanKit is particularly good in visualizing a process and the work that is in it. While the column structure seems simple, it still manages to capture the essence of our work and in a way de-abstracts it.
- The multiple ways of customizing boards, lanes, cards and reports mean Planview LeanKit can be made fit to any process.
- With descriptions and comments it is a great tool to facilitate project work and collaboration in a comprehensive manner.
- The reporting offers many ways to keep track of the current state and development potential of a board and its process.
- The Planview LeanKit support is particularly fast to respond, answers (and asks) very knowledgeable and like-able.
- Over the last two years I saw Planview LeanKit develop a lot of great features that were really helpful. The product constantly evolves.
- 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.
Great Tool for Agile Project Management
- LeanKit is easy-to-use and flexible. You can change your boards as often as you change your work process.
- Flexible and intuitive user interface.
- Easy to manage and handle user access.
- Drag-and-drop cards across lanes, add comments, and documents.
- Reporting can be improved to show better insights.
- Can't think of any other cons.
Great all in one solution
- Allocating tasks to specific people.
- Managing your or your team's workflow.
- Organization
- Prioritization
- Card description field could be larger/re-sizable with better formatting options.
- Ability to copy/paste screenshots into cards.
- Sizing of cards in order to judge complexity/length of task.
LeanKit gets the job done
- 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.
Good tool for repeatable steps in a process
- 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.
Very light, intuitive, and good learning curve.
- Okta Integration: We love using SSO for all our SaaS apps, and as new team members join, they can be automatically joined to the appropriate LeanKit boards.
- Filtering and viewing: Can filter and refine by several fields as well as custom fields. Assigned Users, Tagged, Card Type, Date, etc
- Their analytics and reporting can be helpful for PMs, especially if they have several teams they oversee.
- I like where they are going with integrations. I would like to see more integration with security monitoring and alerting tools. Might not be the right use case, but for what I do, that would be nice to have.
Not as sleek as Asana
- 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.
LeanKit is a kanban board for power users
- Kanban-style workflow (can be fun moving things along on the board).
- Advanced organization of boards and lanes.
- Allows for various forms of information to be captured in each card.
- Not the best designed Kanban software I've seen.
- The advanced organization options seem to create overly complex boards in my experience.
- Finding a specific card can be a challenge.
Easy to use project management tool
- 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.
Good Alternative to Pivotal Tracker
- The LeanKit dashboard really lends itself well to agile-style development.
- The interface is fairly intuitive.
- Being able to split up work and document progress and assign things to people is great.
- The formatting of what they call "cards" could be better. They can be clunky if you have a lot of text in just one.
- Needs better support for media, attachments.
- Not the most pretty interface in my opinion, though it works.
Great for Discovery vs Delivery
- LeanKit allows you to track the cycle time for development, which is crucial when analyzing where roadblocks are.
- LeanKit allows you to see when there are things waiting to be moved, which allows you to fix your processes.
- LeanKit makes it easy for product teams to keep track of discovery work that does not flow into sprints well.
- When I used Lean Kit in early 2016, it was a little slow.
- I didn't like the board linking functionality.
LeanKit helps get teams on the same page
- 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.
Leankit Review
- Transparent as to the status of stories.
- Allows customization of fields and colors.
- Showing icons for who is assigned stories or blockers is very transparent.
- Setting card counts is allowing us to progress to seamless integration.
- Integration with other tools. Being in QA having a separate tool for labs and scripts and not integrating makes tracking tedious (we are using testrails).
- Better notification on movement of stories of interest.
- Stories going to bottom of column on creation.
