KanbanFlow

A Great Kanban Board for Starters

Comments: KanbanFlow has helped us track our time and manage projects effectively.

Pros:

KanbanFlow is free and easy to use. We decided to use KanbanFlow instead of tracking projects in Excel and it was a great decision.

Cons:

The program is not feature rich so there are likely more robust tools on the market. However, for people starting with tools like this, simplicity can be a good thing.

Easy to use

Pros:

KanbanFlow makes it easy to prioritize tasks for yourself or a team. I love how you can sort into different categories and edit your progress on each task.

Cons:

It can be difficult to remember to use it all the time.

Lightweight and Free to Use Kanban

Comments: It is has been a positive tool for organising my personal workload and communicating it with my team

Pros:

The product is free and it is simple. It's lightweight, multi user nature makes it easy for teams and users of varying competency with IT

Cons:

The swimlanes are a paid feature which are a nice to have but not critical. You also can't move completed tasks any past date you wish. But these are not big deals

Project and work tracking

Comments: A follow-up of each task improved the work as the group was able to have the information of updates in real time and all at the same time

Pros:

It provides an overview of all the work that is being carried out, having an improved follow-up on each task and giving it correct completion before starting the new task. All of us in the work team keep informed of each update that is being executed in each task to so carry out a more organized work

Cons:

The response time to the questions made through email takes a bit, as a suggestion it would be good if they responded faster

The best kanban flow experience, and flexible enough to do just about anything!

Comments: This is the best way to visualize tasks and manage work flow. By having an ongoing list in things to do today, any of my team members can go in and pull a task into "Doing Now" - that + pomodoro timers that assign to each task means I can literally see where all the time in my day goes, and visually see how things are moving through the pipeline.

Pros:

KanbanFlow is an amazing piece of software, and truly flexible for whatever you need it for. It allows you to visually manage any process, but our company uses it most heavily to monitor our WIP (work in progress) and to manage tasks across multiple users. This allows us to take a quick snapshot of what's being worked on now, what needs to be done today/this week/this month. It also allows us to create an overall work flow ranging from this minute to strategy coming in the next months. We have also used it to track deals in our pipeline but we ultimately switched that to Hubspot CRM because that includes deal values and forecasting while still retaining the Kanban Board aspect. Probably the best part though, and the reason I always come back to KanbanFlow instead of any other Kanban Board is the pomodoro timer. This is the best place ever to use a pomodoro timer for a few reasons: 1) You can assign your pomodoro timer to specific tasks, so it's incredibly easy to later look back and see I spent 5 hours 20 minutes on this task. 2) You can look at your pomodoro statistics. I have no idea how much work I did today until I look at my pomodoro statistics and compare them to how well I normally do.

Cons:

Nothing really, it does its job well. I do wish it had a mobile app instead of just a web interface, would encourage me to use it more on my phone.
