In my opinion, kanban tool should have taken off in popular usage, instead of tools like Slack.
If one is in a big org and using tools like Slack, you're most likely looking at yourself as a gigantic mess.
Kanban methodology in potential gives a better canopy style hierarchy to break out big into small chunks. I say potential because ultimately, none of this matters if there's no proper delegation and care at the top (let too many people create slack or groups or whatever, you're looking at chaos down the road).
- alexchamberlain 8y agoI don't think Slack is replacing proper project management; it's a tool for impromptu communication and help.
- webwanderings 8y agoYes, but what purpose does any work-related communication serve? The communication almost always is (and should be) around the tasks, activities, projects etc. Tools like Slack do not provide hierarchy and organization. Tools like kanban on the other hand, do.
- alexchamberlain 8y agoWhat about helping each other out or providing light weight feedback?
- jarfil 8y ago* Slack is for general conversations. * Kanban is for task management. * Wiki pages are for knowledge storage. * Mind maps are for topic organization. You pretty much can use any of these tools to do any of the others' jobs, but each one is best at its own kind.
- brian_herman 8y agoI agree! You took the words right out of my mouth!
