Kanban Tool review

Kanban Tool does one job: online kanban boards for teams outside software as well as inside it. Boards support WIP limits, customizable swimlanes, collapsible columns and card templates with 15 custom fields, and the pricing page states that all plans include advanced Kanban board analytics. Reporting covers a cumulative flow diagram, breakdown charts and time reports, which gives a manager the basic flow picture without add-ons. Team costs $6 per user per month with unlimited boards and file attachments. Enterprise at $11 adds time tracking, user group management and process automation. There is a free plan, but it is small: 2 users, 2 boards and no attachments. Kanban Tool also sells an On-Site edition installed on your own server for 10 or more users on annual billing, which few tools in this list offer. The vendor says Kanban Tool powers over 25,000 businesses. Teams that need cycle time scatterplots or forecasting will find more depth in Businessmap or KanbanFlow.
