Kanbanize is a visual project management tool based on the Kanban principles aimed at increasing efficiency in the workflow. It is online Kanban software for Lean Project Management and applies the Lean Thinking business methodology through the Kanban method. The term 'lean thinking' was developed by James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones[1] in order to grasp the essence of their detailed study of the Toyota Production System.[2] Kanbanize, as its name suggests, is encompassing the Kanban principles through which it allows a process to become Lean and minimize waste activities.
The service allows for setting up a digital Kanban board, which provides a visual representation of projects and tasks that are being worked on by the team.[3] As projects move through the stages of the process, it can be seen which employees are working on each of them, at each stage.[4] The software works on the assumption that no company, nor any team within that company, can be and do all things at once[5] deriving from the first Kanban principle: Start with what you do now.[6] Each task on the board is represented by a card. Work items do not vary in size because the assumption is that each task has to be broken down into its smallest parts in order to ensure fast and regular delivery.[7]
Features[edit]
- Process Visualization[8]: The software provides visual mechanisms (card colors, WIP limit violation, etc.) in a drag-n-drop interface.
- WIP Limits[9]: May be set per column, swimlane or user.[10]
- Project Portfolio Management: Work breakdown structure and options for linking cards.
- Process definition ease: Types and Templates for work categorization; columns and swimlanes.
- Collaboration[11]: Mentions in cards can send notifications and e-mails. A particular card could be located and accessed on the board or across various boards through the Search engine. Offline collaboration is only possible by exporting cards, editing them and then uploading them back.
- Analytics: The Analytics module includes Cumulative Flow Diagram, Cycle Time Histogram, Cycle Time Scatterplot, predictive Monte Carlo Simulations, Throughput Run Chart, WIP Run Chart, Heat Map, Flow Efficiency[12]
- Mobile Access: Kanbanize can be accessed from Android and iOS devices through the application and from any browser.
