We could start with card being able to be owned by more than one person, trackable task types, and interoperability with other work management tools.

But, for now, AgileZen is the easiest to use and the easiest to read.

For power, LeanKit Kanban provides multiple value streams, subdivided columns, and some other robust features – but its interface is more clinical.

With an explicit Retrospective column, you do that verification, but still keep the week’s work visible _and_ have a column there that says “You need to do your retrospective.”

Even the best of us frequently miss retrospectives because it’s just too easy at the end of the week to skip them.

Thanks Kel!

What’s the difference between the complete column and the retrospective column. It’s not clear to me why both are needed.

Thanks and Regards,

Kel

There is no wrong place for a post like this though. I’d love to see a screenshot of your use of Stickies.

Ideally, one screen would always be the kanban – but I know as well as anyone, that’s simply not feasible.

Thanks again for the kind words.

On my two-monitor Mac, I’m experimenting with using Stickies, which can be color-coded, are collapsible, and whose text can be formatted for added emphasis or distinction as needed.

The background for one monitor acts as the cork board with vertical, labeled columns, and watching the flow of projects horizontally gives me a sense of progress.

Most of the day, this display on one monitor is obscured by other application’s palettes (namely Adobe apps), but with a few keystrokes, I can view it clearly while hiding all other windows.

I adjust the monitor’s background image as needed in Photoshop, adding/removing/resizing/relabeling columns. I’m currently using two banks of columns – primary and secondary.

It’s evolving, thanks to your – and your readers’ – ideas. Keep up the good work.
