When going to use kanban, a team/organization needs todecide whether to use a physical or electronic board

A physical board is tangible, fully customizable, and is agreat Information Radiator out of the box.

The physical board is limited when it comes to supportingdistributed teams, easy tracking of metrics such as Cycle Times, CFD, etc.

With Kanban, a lot of teams choose to go to an electronic Kanban tool, and some of them use a combination of a tool and a physical board.

There is a plethora of electronic Kanban tools in the market. Some are builtaround Kanban. Some are general Agile Lifecycle Management tools starting toprovide Kanban story boards as well.

For your convenience - here is a partial list of tools wehave some good experience with (in alphabetical order).  For more information and help choosing theright tool for you, contact us
