EasyRetro vs. Kanban Tool

There's just so much versatility with Easyretro that I can't think of where it couldn't be used. If you wanted to make a collage, I guess this board would be too structured for that but for most conversations in a business that require organization, this is the best tool for the job. Where EasyRetro really shines is allowing the feedback to be anonymous (Others do as well but most of them require some kind of registration).

Kanban is well suited for a fast-paced working environment for larger teams who want continuous communication with users. Kanban is good for rapid development and daily meetings for updates and statuses. Kanban is less suited for smaller teams or groups who don't require collaboration and constant communication with involved users. Kanban is time-consuming and it takes additional effort outside of your regular work to maintain and manage the tool.

• Easy to Organize

• It provides a good basic overview of where tasks are on a timeline (particularly helpful for a pull-based approach).
• It provides a good collaborative space to have multiple folks commenting on multiple tasks.
• It does a good job of managing very basic visual elements of an agile development cycle.

• None. Simplicity is their strong point and they do action the suggestions from the community that garners the most votes.

• Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
• Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
• I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.

We are more likely than not to renew our use of Kanban. Even with its limits, it still is a good product that fulfills our needs.

Anyone who has has navigated to the board knows how easy it is to use. The design is simple and the options are intuitive. People of any age can get on and understand how to use the features on this board. The simplicity drives engagement and more feedback is collected as a result.

The integration with Teams is well suited. This works wonderful for my
company. Our team can easily prioritize tasks based on their importance.
It help our team identify and reduce inefficiencies in workflow. With
great visibility in data our team can make informed decisions. Ensuring
clear accountability and responsibility of team members

This is the best tool I had a chance to work with- since I started to use it I saved a lot of time and I made my work go smoothly.

EasyRetro beats out the competition by a landslide. The beginning tutorial is much shorter, easy for anyone to join, and very intuitive to continue use.

We've only tried JIRA Agile and KanbanFlow before. Kanban Tool was the one that our team actually liked and enjoyed working with. Also - it's been much easier to get started with and to understand than some of the other two (JIRA in particular). Although JIRA has many more features that we would have possibly used, the user feedback on it was so poor we were afraid that the negativity would create time wasted and less "job satisfaction" amongst the team.

• Cuts down on setup time by more than 20 minutes.
• Increased participation from 2 people to all 10 people.
• 1 second snippet for historical records.

Incentivized

• Better communication and organization of ongoing projects.
• We are a very small team, with many areas to work on. Having everything in one system gives us a lot of visibility.
• Greatly reduced costs from using other tools that were much more expensive.
