Please, tell us what your work is about?

Project management of e-commerce and web development.

What kind of processes do you manage using Kanban Tool?

Single tasks and projects to be completed by different members of our e-commerce and web development team.

Could you describe your workflow?

We assign tasks or projects for each other in a backlog, and then I – as the team leader – decide which tasks/projects are most important and move these into a “to-do” lane. And then the assignee move the card into “doing” and then “done” after completion. It’s very simple, but it works for us as we have a lot of small tasks.

What does your board structure look like?

The board is divided into 5 swimlanes, each one representing its own, overall work area. These are divided into Backlog, To do, Doing and Done. Again: Very simple, but effective.

Have you made any adjustments to improve your performance?

Not many – the standard board template was fine. We just added swimlanes and re-named the columns/stages.

What are the most valuable features to you in Kanban Tool?

The simplicity of the tool and how easy it is to make a board.

What are the most important benefits of using Kanban Tool for you?

That I and my team get the full overview of all our tasks in a simple, visual manner, and that the individual team member can easily find his/her tasks.
