To be honest, Wekan is a pretty weak implementation of Kanban:
- No Search (https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/552 https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/552)
- No WIP limits (https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/783 https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/783)
- No Swimlanes (https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/955 https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/955)
It's a bummer because in the current state, Wekan doesn't really provide much real management value. I really wanted to use it for Kanban, because it's one of the flagship applications of the fantastic Sandstorm cloud platform (https://sandstorm.io https://sandstorm.io), to introduce some colleagues to both concepts at the same time... but I guess I will only show them about the later.
Well at least it implements subtasks (checklists)!
- xet7 9y agoHi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan. Yes, Wekan does not have those features yet. Anyway, Wekan is being actively developed and features added. Wekan is friendly community driven project and welcomes all contributions. Some have commented on Wekan GitHub issues that they prefer to use Wekan, because some others project management tools are overkill, or don't have the same usability as Wekan. It depends on use case.
- regularfry 9y agoThing is, it's specifically labeled a kanban board. WiP limits are fundamental to kanban. They're why kanban works. People may prefer it to other tools; that's fine, but it doesn't mean it's not missing the point by not being an actual kanban board implementation.
- xet7 9y agoYes, Wekan has Kanban Board, but not full Kanban Method yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_board
