If you've ever worked in manufacturing, real Kanban boards are messy but organized for the people to know what's going on. Every Kanban board I've seen is unique in its own ways. Some use post-it notes and some specialized tokens that magentically attach to the board. Design of the board and layout can vary widely, but generally when you see one, it is a workshop organization tool made by people who feel comfortable using it.
Take away is that just because they're not using an off-the-shelf project management / WIP management tool, doesn't mean they're not organized.

- quartesixte 5y agoIf no sync means forcing the engineers out of their desks and onto the floor so they actually talk to the production teams and hold in their hands the product that so far has only lived in CAD for them, then I’ll take no-sync any day of the week. Of course, that’s not feasible but hey, a guy can dream.
- marcind 5y agoit's not "syncing" yet but https://sharetheboard.com https://sharetheboard.com does make it easy to save and send whiteboard content with other people and tools (in real time). one-click integrations are a few weeks off. syncing is just one step after that.
