Better Asana alternative in 3 out of 3 points of comparison.
Kanban Zone is a better Asana alternative for any organization wanting to achieve all the benefits of visual management. It is an especially great choice for those who want to leverage data for optimizing their planning and execution. Here are 3 reasons why you should make the switch.
Reasons for Switching from Asana to Kanban Zone
1. Fully Customizable Boards
There’s no denying that Asana is a great platform when it comes to project visualization. However, the Kanban boards inside have serious limitations when it comes to customization power. To create the ideal flow of work for you or your teams, Kanban Zone is a better Asana alternative. It is equipped with a more powerful board editor capable of visualizing even the most complex workflows and value streams. You can literally create any board you can imagine. It can be asymmetrical and doesn’t have to be perfect grids!
In the video above, you can see how Kanban Zone can create any type of board. As the administrator of a paid plan user, you can also leverage our Kanban coaches to help you set up a single board or multiple connected boards to create your perfect workflow visualization.
2. More Powerful Metrics
Metrics are the biggest differentiator that makes Kanban Zone a better Asana alternative. Even though the latter has some pretty useful analytics for monitoring process performance, they are a lot less precise. On the other hand, Kanban Zone facilitates data-driven decision-making by providing deep insight into key workflow aspects such as the arrival rate of new work, throughput, process efficiency, and most importantly, the ability to see underperforming areas in a single glance through Performance Tuning.
3. Forecasting
Data is everything when it comes to planning future work. If relying on experience to estimate how long it would take to complete a project was good enough in the past, now, there’s a better way. It’s called data-driven forecasting and is another great example of why Kanban Zone is a superior Asana alternative.
By leveraging this powerful feature through our Forecast Zone, you can drastically improve the accuracy of your planning process.
