Fully functional and still simple

What do you like best? The interface is clean and intuitive, and easy to discover and use without need for lots of documentation. It has all the features I want readily available, but isn't cluttered with stuff I don't use and/or find confusing. What do you dislike? I've only had a couple of issues. Updates to cards require an explicit 'save' in odd places, and creating new cards with sub-tasks is kind of clunky around that. Recommendations to others considering the product: ...

Not as efficient as I had hoped

What do you like best? The idea. On paper, LK looks like a solution that someone who isn't an IT Project Manager could find helpful. What do you dislike? The reality is the tool is limiting. If you are working with any outside vendors (outside of your org), they cannot receive notifications/tasks without a license. Also, if you are a small company, LK does not want to do business with you. They make it very difficult (to contact, support, training, invoicing - the whole 9 yards). ...

Useful Kanban style tool -- lacks some user and assignment management functionality

What do you like best? Easy to use, filter/highlight system, easy to customize. generally lightweight and intuitive What do you dislike? Parts of the tool are too manual. Ex. A card type cannot be automatically assigned to a user so if a request or ticket is entered via card someone must manually select the person to assign to the task.
