Who can benefit from Cacoo’s Kanban tool?
Cacoo’s Kanban tool isn’t just for project managers — it’s a versatile tool that can benefit a wide range of users. If you’re already using Cacoo for diagramming, here’s how the Kanban tool can make your workflow even more effective:
Agile teams
Let’s say your Agile team is using Cacoo to create user story maps or process diagrams. With the Kanban tool, you can immediately turn those visual plans into actionable tasks. For example, after mapping out your sprint plan, you can create a Kanban board with columns for “Backlog,” “In Progress,” and “Completed.” As your team works through the sprint, they can move tasks across the board, giving everyone a clear, real-time view of progress — all within Cacoo.
Project managers
If you’re a project manager using Cacoo to create Gantt charts or project timelines, the Kanban tool allows you to break down these big-picture plans into manageable tasks. For instance, after developing a project timeline, you can set up a Kanban board with tasks aligned to your timeline milestones. As team members complete tasks, you can easily adjust deadlines and priorities on the same platform where you visualize the project’s scope, ensuring everything stays on track.
Freelancers
As a freelancer, you might be using Cacoo to draft mind maps, wireframes, or design concepts for your clients. The Kanban tool lets you take those creative ideas and organize them into specific tasks. For example, after designing a website wireframe, you can create a Kanban board with tasks like “Design homepage,” “Develop contact form,” and “Optimize for mobile.” This helps you manage your workload, meet client deadlines, and keep every aspect of the project organized — all without leaving Cacoo.
