We love using KanbanFlow as a facilitator, organizer and project manager. All IT is already accustomed and approves the methodology. I recommend for different scenarios where there are projects, activities, goals and need a control, issuing management reports for each employee. It is possible to measure productivity, performance, number of activities in progress and completed and other things. I am responsible for several projects and within these I can add tasks, goals, reminders and in the end I can generate various types of reports such as: by project, by daily tasks, date, group activities, and others. The reports are well detailed and exported as a pdf file. The software is great for monitoring as well and diagnosing problems in activities and reducing general problems.
Wunderlist is a fantastic task management system, not the best project management system. For a long time, I tried to use Wunderlist to plan large events with multiple users and it wasn't as effective. But, once we simplified our desired outcome to accomplishing tasks that repeat or are unique to a given work-week, we had much more success. Now my assistant can manage her weekly tasks and give feedback through this app. I can also add tasks, assign them and see what is being accomplished
Smart due dates are the greatest thing about Wunderlist. I can tell it to "print past due reports on Monday" and then set that up as a repeating event.
It's clutter free. When I'm creating or assigning tasks I like to have a distraction free area to think, and the simplicity of Wunderlist gives me that.
The fact that I can look at it on my phone, on the web, and on my PC and it always looks the same is great. I can always tell what I'm doing b/c of their consistent design choices.
Sub-tasks should have their own separate due dates
The main list needs some more intuitive tools to sort the list in any way I choose
Hovering over links should show a description of how to use it. For example, it would have been nice to know right away that double-clicking on a task is the way to open the details list.
The actual user interface and the way to navigate around the app is very intuitive and easy to learn/use which would make me give it a high ranking, but the syncing issues drop down my rating because there are times where you add an item to the list and then it just disappears. Then when you add it again the sync will happen and now you have duplicates. The other negative with the usability is adding extra information to an item, such as files or comments or assignments. You can do it but it's difficult to tell which items have this information from the main screen. You have to click on them individually.
I have not had an issue where I needed to reach out to Wunderlist, but I know their contact and online chat is easy to access and feel confident that they would be helpful. My only worry is Wunderlist is becoming Microsoft to-do in May 2020, and I believe the app will become worse after that.
The obvious competitor to KanbanFlow is Jira. They are such different pieces of software. Jira is bloated, integrated with everything and optimized for a sprint-based working methodology. KanbanFlow is lean, rough around the edges, and really only works if you are using Kanban to manage your projects. I don't think that it's a matter of choosing between these two pieces of software, it's a matter of picking how you are going to work and then choosing the software that makes the most sense for that approach.
It's a small tool compared to bigger project management software, but we found that they work perfectly together. It helps you declutter the larger PM tools, keep your smaller tasks in-line and make sure they get completed. When you're working in a creative agency, ideas and tasks are flying around, so having a tool like this that keeps you accountable and reminds you of your tasks is a must!
Although we've only been using it for a few months I can already see the difference that it makes for our leadership team. We are more productive in every meeting. no spreadsheets or anything like that.
because we have all of these important aspects of our quarter in one place, we aren't using multiple software or methodologies for storing the information that we have review all over the place
We reduced the number of meetings of teams and companies by 5 times because now all participants have access to comments and know at what stage the project is located.
Simple to use common to-do lists allow you to manage the projects of the group and give all its participants a clear idea of who is responsible for each task. There is no need to waste time explaining the business processes and responsibilities of team members
Wunderlist for business stores all group correspondence together with tasks.
This is convenient for all participants and for management because sometimes important moments are lost in other messengers or chats. Now you can do everything in one application. The number of problems with this
