A lot of potential for agile development

Hey Team Scrumdo!

Hence I'm really on my way since 2005 in agile environments and saw a lot of tools over the years, I really was surprised to see such a tool here with this functionality. I'm not to deep in the details yet, but spend some hours to create portfolios, boards and so on.

Whats really cool from my point of view up to now is:
(+) Template for printing
(+) Support for Flight Levels, SAFe and LeSS. The outstanding thing here is, that you don't need additional addons. If you like SAFe in a portfolio configuration, you can build it. If you want to create a Flight Level 2, you can build it. Like LeSS more? Build it.
(+) A lot of practices regarding the Kanban Maturity Model (e.g. aging of cards, process policies, Min / max WIP Limits, …) are supported. This might be an option for your choice if you are using this KMM. I have to check in detail, but looks nice
(+) Complete Board Designer, e.g. you can create „header columns“ and assign columns to it (quite nice idea), Swimlanes are possible, too
(+) The card configuration (multiple check lists on on card -> nice!) is also done quite nice.
(+) Showing dependencies in cards
(+) Mindmap View

There are also some improvements from my side
(-) Removing a label leds to removing one row of my second level board (and resets all of my work). Perhaps I did a mistake here, but that has to be catched through the system from my point of view.
(-) My biggest point is: It's not really intuitive, you need some time to understand. It feels a little bit "heavy". But I did a research in the internet and it seems, that this already improved, based on the past. So my assumption is, there will be more improvement in the future.

One wish (I think it's not possible, but not 100% sure)
(o) create a WIP limit over two columns, covered by two header columns (use case: I have two swimlanes, and two times the same column (e.g. processing) and I want to define an WIP limit that checks both colums (2*processing) _under_ the two headers)

So the next points from my side will be to use it in Reality. Especially the metrics like histograms and CFD looks promising - but I have to check. As, and there is also an App. Have to check this too.

So I was struggeling between 4 and 5 tacos, but for the enormous potential and my last ratings with a 5 stars I gave, 5 is deserved :-)

Helpful?
