Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Kanban Tool for personal organization. I use it to list all my tasks, and keep up with them. One of the most important features for me is the time tracking. After a day, I can visualize how I used my time and how much I worked in each task.

Pros

It is simple and modular, so you can always add functionalities when you need them, but it doesn't get overcrowded when you don't need them.

Cons

It could improve the recurring card feature, giving more flexibility of how we can set the periodicity.

Return on Investment

Kanban Tool helps me keep my tasks visible and manage my time.

Ease of use and access
Connects with outlook to provide current tasks due today
Real-time updates

I like that the app continues to evolve

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I do the whole project management for a Data migration project of a customer from an individual legacy system to SAP S4/Hana. Means Cards for data objects, for processes, swim lanes for departments like SD, Purchase, or Finance. I use it for control, status, and documentation. I use one for the whole project, and one for the actual status of each data object.

Pros

A card for each data object documents and controls the whole migration process
Cards for subtask like meetings, workshops and so on
Organization of daily work by email integration

Cons

the cards can be designed very individually, only the design is fixed.

Return on Investment

cuz the project is still running, there is an answer at the moment not possible..

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PRO: Very simple and easy to start and use. Cards are very basic but can be customized and "powered up!"

CON: Boxes and cards should have a better/smarter resize. I'm using the lowest Zoom but since I have a lot of boards, cards, swim lanes, it can get crowded. However, it was the only product I've found so far that allowed me to do this.

OVERALL: I shifted all of our projects and tasks into Kanban Tool. Information that was scattered across emails, other PM software, and ticket trackers is now consolidated in several boards, with a simple and minimalist view of everything.

Pros

Overview of all cards, even from multiple lanes and boards.
Can be customized from extremely simple, to highly informational.
Support is great!

Cons

File upload/integration.
Card resizing.
User/account management.

Return on Investment

Better communication and organization of ongoing projects.
We are a very small team, with many areas to work on. Having everything in one system gives us a lot of visibility.
Greatly reduced costs from using other tools that were much more expensive.
