    Kanbanchi
    • If you need transparency around your workloads the product is great as it is easy to use and visually tells a story.
    • It is ideal for SCRUM management as it plays into the ideas of Sprint

    We use Social Text as a platform to air our issues with different departments. We voice our concerns and suggestions so we can help find a solution to the problems we incur on a daily basis. We need to have social text as an app so we can communicate in real time not only during work hours.

    Pros
    Kanbanchi
    • Great for supporting SCRUM as part of Agile deliveries. We use the ToDo, Doing and Done and build GANNT charts to facilitate resource planning.
    • We use it at a department level to manage workloads and help staff know what work is waiting for them and the relative priority.
    • We have deployed it across the organisation and also work with suppliers and offshore development teams to coordinate activities.

    Cons
    Kanbanchi
    • Occasionally hangs at login but this may be to do with our authentication service.
    • It would be nice when grouping cards together if there was an option to lay them over each other in a fan arrangement.

    • Search needs a ton of improvements. It was very slow a year ago
    • Search result quality was also not that good
    • I know they have improved their UI recently but when i used it last year it did not really have any design elements which could be used to make the articles look more presentable. It was important for us as we used it for external communication as well.

    We have a lot of info in Socialtext already. It would be hard to get all that info out and port it to a different system

    We have used MS Project previously but ended up doing things in spreadsheets so KanBanchi has bridged this gap for us

    I frankly like Confluence better than socialtext because of the speed and the quality of search. They also have better design elements which can help make the articles pleasant to the eyes.
