5 Reasons You Need a Digital Kanban Board!

5 Reasons You Need a Digital Kanban Board!

15% of all projects fail, and one out of three organizations don’t complete their projects on time, and on budget, according to a Forbes article. Kanban is a methodology used by software development teams and organizations in different sectors to manage work and stimulate collaboration, increase productivity, and boost efficiency.

Kanban isn’t just useful to project managers. Employees and individuals can also use it for planning. If you have endless To-Do lists that are giving you headaches, using the Kanban approach can benefit you tremendously.

Understanding a Kanban Board

The purpose of a Kanban board is to illustrate your workflow. This visual layout shows every activity that takes place within the project lifecycle, thus enabling all team members to track work, prioritize important tasks, detect bottlenecks, fix problems, and stay on course. If you’ve come across a whiteboard full of sticky-notes, it’s most probably a physical Kanban board. Instead of relying on a physical board, you should consider switching to a digital Kanban board. Here are some reasons why you should start working with an online Kanban board.

Ultimate Accessibility

When you have a project that involves people who are based in different locations, communication and collaboration can be a challenge. Some tasks may be unknowingly duplicated, and it may be tough to track progress. With a Kanban board online, the entire team can view the workstream, communicate, comment, tell what has been done, and know what needs to be done.

Using a digital Kanban, you can also allocate tasks to remote teams or individuals and control the flow of work. People involved in the project just need to log in and get instant updates on the status of work. This helps minimize the need for meetings. While physical boards are limited by office hours and location, Kanban boards that live in the cloud are accessible from anywhere at any time provided you have an internet connection.

Control and Constant Improvement

Every business or organization strives to improve continuously. Online Kanban has an automated process of gathering workflow metrics. The data is in a simplified format of charts and diagrams, allowing you to analyze the data easily. This information provides meaningful insights that can help you scrutinize your work process, rectify any shortcomings, and improve your overall performance.

Work Automation

If you have other existing tools that you are using to refine your work process, you can still use digital Kanban. Online Kanban can easily be combined with other platforms to help you complete your project effectively. You can integrate it with email, calendar, and other software tools.

Central Storage of Information

Apart from your current project, you may need to access useful information from past projects. This is impossible if you are using a physical Kanban board. A digital board stores each detail of all the projects you’ve worked on, allowing you to retrieve past data, refer to earlier work, and track results long into the future.

Security

If you are developing a project that has sensitive data, using a physical board can present a security challenge as everyone can view what you are working on. An online Kanban platform provides adequate levels of security as it has various security settings that you can tweak, as noted by Digital Marketplace. You can provide different levels of access depending on the role of each user, and grant specific rights and restrictions as you deem fit.

Summary

To track and visualize your progress on projects as you move tasks from to-do to done, a Kanban board is instrumental. It is great for enhancing productivity in a team environment and for personal work management. A digital Kanban board is easy-to-use and learn, therefore, you should consider integrating it into your work.
