Most users looking at Kanban Tool will ultimately have a process that they work through. This is a great tool and very flexible for any business. Take your time to really review your process and the stages of the process. Kanban Tool will make it clear visually so you can see bottlenecks and areas to improve. I think this tool can be adapted to any company or process.

• The product works well with CRM packages like Microsoft CRM.
• It provides a well designed, automated system of marketing communications with limited interactions from staff.
• The system works very well with different types of platforms including mobile web services.

• It provides a good basic overview of where tasks are on a timeline (particularly helpful for a pull-based approach).
• It provides a good collaborative space to have multiple folks commenting on multiple tasks.
• It does a good job of managing very basic visual elements of an agile development cycle.

• The learning curve is steep on this product. My group had to do a lot of training to feel like we were up to speed on the product.
• I would definitely recommend some in-house training for employees about to use this product. This will help employees get the most out of the product for a better ROI.
• The user interface could use a refresh. Seems to be a bit stale compared to a few other products we looked at.

Incentivized

• Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
• Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
• I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.

We are more likely than not to renew our use of Kanban. Even with its limits, it still is a good product that fulfills our needs.

The integration with Teams is well suited. This works wonderful for my
company. Our team can easily prioritize tasks based on their importance.
It help our team identify and reduce inefficiencies in workflow. With
great visibility in data our team can make informed decisions. Ensuring
clear accountability and responsibility of team members

This is the best tool I had a chance to work with- since I started to use it I saved a lot of time and I made my work go smoothly.

We went with IBM B2B Cloud Services because we felt that IBM has a very long track record of delivering enterprise-ready solutions to their customers. IBM professional services came in and clearly explained how they would help us integrate our current business process into the IBM B2B Cloud Services product. This gave us the confidence and trust to go with IBM over a lesser-known competitor.

Kanban is superior to Scrum and AGILE because it can visually organize all your projects and data into one board. Kanban integrates with JIRA which digs deeper into the project data when it is needed. By integrating Kanban with JIRA, you don't need any other tool for project management that is effective for both the business and the development teams. Kanban is recommended for any user groups who wish to increase their efficiency to deliver products, transparency for all users and on-time productivity.
