Good inspirations tools - Flexible Columns in Swimlanes please

Feedback & Ideas Tenzu
1

Here is a list of some tools that I have tried and believe could serve as good inspiration for Tenzu:

  • ClickUp – Flexibility to view the structure in various ways.
  • Monday – Integrations.
  • Wekan – The main open-source Kanban tool, amazing!
  • OpenProject – Another powerful open-source planning and management tool.
  • BusinessMap (formerly Kanbanize) – Flexible workflow.
  • Planview LeanKit – Flexible workflow.

What I, along with many others, am looking for is a tool that offers flexible workflow design like Planview LeanKit. Unfortunately, it’s an expensive tool. Most tools don’t allow the option to view more than one swimlane on a single board, and when they do, they don’t offer the ability to have different status columns for each swimlane.

It’s incredible when you can see all areas working together on one board, each in its own status. This is a huge demand in the construction sector because all disciplines are interdependent.

Please consider the possibility for Tenzu to work with flexible swimlane columns, so not all swimlanes have the same columns.

Hello @Kairo And thank you very much for your input.

To make collaboration easier, facilitating workflows (plural intended) will be one of our key focus.
We are still in the designing phase so I won’t commit to anything yet, there are still lots of possibilities on what form that could take. But we’ll keep in mind your suggestion about easily being able to see the whole picture at once.
About customisation, we want to strike a good balance between flexibility and guidance so once again not committing to anything but I’m pretty sure we won’t have one single set of fixed statuses

For completeness, I’m adding to those you already suggested a list of other tools that we are also looking into (we are trying to go through the whole ecosystem for inspiration):
