The year 2013 was for us a year of intense work and maximal concentration on providing professional Kanban solution. We did our best to provide you with a well-designed, even more intuitive and easier to customize visual project management solution. In 2013 we have successfully released a bunch of new features and improvements. Below, we present the Big Six of the most important changes we made in Kanban Tool during 2013.

1. New Kanban board design

At the beginning of 2013 we have updated the look of Kanban boards. We made it much lighter, modern and user-friendly. Additionally, we have refreshed the navigation and implemented some small improvements to make it even more simple and intuitive.

2. Kanban Tool On-Site

Kanban Tool On-Site is the perfect solution for especially large companies that comply with the highest data security standard and cannot use cloud-based solutions. On-premise Kanban boards can be easily customized to fit businesses of all types and sizes. Moreover, they can be easily integrated with your own IT infrastructure and existing systems.
