Kanban is a pretty specific case. There have actually been a number of apps attempting to do kanban boards. Trello is the only one I've tried that actually works well.
- ohitsdom 11y agoI don't think Trello is kanban-specific. Yes, it does kanban very well, but I know of many different types of people that use trello in completely different ways (and they've never heard of kanban).
- krallja 11y agoCounterpoint: I have never used Trello as a kanban board, with predefined column names, left-to-right motion, and strict WIP limits. I have a board for my house, with columns for "buy/sell", "maintenance", "check later". I have a board for my family, with a column representing an upcoming milestone/event/party, and cards representing tasks my wife and I still have to complete. Our company uses a top-level Company Report board, with each column representing a company goal, and each card representing an in-progress project. I've also seen boards represent options and possibilities - "everyone add a to the column of the conference(s) you want to attend this year" - then the card becomes the locus of planning for that person's conference travel and so forth. My family did this earlier this year when searching for a home to buy - each card was a house, and the columns approximately represented neighborhoods.
