Kanban software allows to visualize your project progress, control and optimize workflow and collaborate with your team in real-time. Software based on Kanban helps you organize work with Kanban cards placed on an online Kanban board. So what should you check for when choosing a Kanban application?
The first thing you need to decide is: how do you want to use your Kanban software? Are you interested in downloading and installing it on your own server or do you prefer an online version? The majority of companies prefers a web-based solution because of the flexibility and more frequent updates. It's much easier to set up and everything is taken care of for you – upgrades, backups and security.
Do you know how many Kanban boards you will need and how many team members you want to invite to use your software? Well, you don't have to. Choose software that allows you to create unlimited number of boards and to collaborate with as many team members as you need - by just increasing their count as the business grows. It's good to be able to easily upgrade or downgrade at any time without additional costs.
Do you want to improve your productivity and efficiency? If yes, then you need to choose only from the best Kanban software vendors on the market. The service needs to allow you to track progress, identify and eliminate bottlenecks and reduce waste. When choosing the best offer, you need to be sure that particular Kanban software gives you access to advanced board analytics including Cumulative Flow Diagram, Lead Time analysis and time reports.
The best Kanban software should be customizable to exactly fit your specific needs. Check how many features you can adjust to the way you like to work. Does it have: wide selection of card colors, customizable card template and possibility to adjust workflow with columns and swimlanes. Don't forget to look for advanced sharing options and read-only access for your customers and stakeholders. Furthermore, check if the software offers additional customization and integration possibilities such as Power-Ups.
The last thing you need to check is software vendor credibility. Do not trust companies that do not provide privacy policy and terms of service. These kinds of companies may not care about your data security at all. You should choose a company that has been providing Kanban services for at least two years, so that you can be sure that your data and personal details are safe. What else is important? Check if you can cancel your account at any time without consequences.
Nobody likes to buy a cat in a bag - do you? Check if the Kanban vendor offers you a free trial. Be aware that credit card number should not be required when creating a free account or starting a trial. Choose wisely! Try out the Kanban software for free with no worries.
