Overall Satisfaction with LeanKit

I have helped product development teams choose LeanKit as they were developing better processes for their teams. The teams used LeanKit instead of JIRA, as it was easier to manage the flow of work that just didn't fit into JIRA. They would put all their tasks in it and be able to calculate the flow.
  • 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 has streamlined the way we have worked which has been a great ROI
I have used Trello, which is not as robust for tracking and customizing workflows as
LeanKit is. It does not scale well to big teams. JIRA is the standard project management software but does not support Kanban well.
LeanKit is great for teams that want to improve their discovery vs delivery cadence and feel JIRA is subpar.
