Compare SwiftKanban vs Zoho Projects vs LeanKit

Software Description:

SwiftKanban can be used by software teams, IT/Ops/DevOps teams, project managers/teams and those in HR, marketing, sales, procurement, construction, insurance, legal and other fields to visualize their team’s processes and improve overall flow, efficiency, and delivery of value to their customers.
SwiftKanban combines Scrum, Kanban, and visual management to offer a powerful tool for lean/agile software development, visual project management, and business collaboration and improvement.

Visual Management and Kanban are the latest and one of the best ways of collaboration on a wide variety of technology and business functions.

SwiftKanban is available in both SaaS and on-premise models, and comes with a free team edition.

Software Description:

This software consists of four base modules, which are available in each package—as well as the free version. The modules included in Zoho Projects are Tasks and Milestones, Documents, Project Calendars, and Meetings and Forums.
It lets the people in the project communicate easily, discuss ideas and stay updated with the latest developments.
The solution is suitable for businesses in any industry. Although project management departments will get the most use out of Zoho Projects, the platform can actually be used by employees in a number of positions or roles within a company.

Software Description:

Designed for the practical implementation of Kanban, LeanKit is a highly flexible project management platform that lets you visualize your process, collaborate more effectively and identify opportunities for improvement.

Using cards on a virtual whiteboard, LeanKit harnesses the innate human preference for consuming information visually. By creating a visual model of your team’s work and workflow, you gain insight that’s otherwise lost in list-based tools. Our intuitive software provides a single, consolidated view of the work that teams can easily access and interact with across multiple locations, devices and systems.

What is this service generally used for?

• SwiftKanban helps organizations and teams visualize their workflow and work on a visual Kanban board. The workflow or value stream through which work must flow to be completed is visualized on the Kanban board, using SwiftKanban’s powerful SmartLanes capability. SwiftKanban’s SmartLanes allow for pretty much any knowledge process to be modeled effectively, whether it is a product/application development process, a DevOps workflow, an IT helpdesk process, an HR recruitment process or an advertising campaign process! Work is visualized as Kanban cards of different colors to identify different work-type of classes of service or priority, as needed.

  Once work is visualized and managed on the Kanban board, SwiftKanban provides many visual and insightful features to help manage and optimize the flow of work (using WIP limits), visualize problems/ bottlenecks (highlighting WIP limit violations, blocked or flagged work items), work that is being ignored or forgotten (waiting or aging work items) and make sure that there is smooth and optimized workflow through the system.

  As teams start to use the Kanban board and process effectively, SwiftKanban provides very useful analytics and animations to help them understand how their process can be improved, their delivery cycle times reduced, and their throughput or velocity increased. All with the goal to boost the overall value and quality delivered to their customer. It helps them forecast with confidence how much they can deliver by when, and provide management and customers great visualization of the team’s performance and commitments.
