KanbanFlow review

KanbanFlow is built around one board per workflow, and it covers the core kanban practices without extra modules. Columns can carry WIP limits, which KanbanFlow describes as a way to force the team to finish tasks before starting new ones, and swimlanes split a board by team or product. The Premium feature list adds the flow charts that kanban teams use most: cumulative flow, cycle and lead time, burndown, throughput, due date performance and Monte Carlo forecasting. Time tracking is built in with a stopwatch, a Pomodoro timer and a time spent report. Premium costs $5 per user per month with a 10% discount for paying per year, and a 14-day trial is offered. A useful detail for mixed teams is that Premium can be enabled for selected boards, while other boards stay shared for free. KanbanFlow has no portfolio planning layer, so larger organizations that need roll-ups across many teams should look at Businessmap or Jira.
