Nothing to share here, everything's perfect.

If you're looking for software where you can build waterfall processes as well as SCRUM and Kanban and if you want to improve processes and "get things done. in time" - Kaiten is a perfect choice.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I've been at project management for over a decade and used tens of solutions for task tracking and management. Since 2018 I started using Kaiten, firstly for small teams in minor projects and eventually now we use it for all the projects' portfolio of the whole group of companies.

The main thing is that usually I had to modify the workflow, sometimes had to invest a lot of time and additional resources (plugins, add-ons etc.), sometimes even had to change the workflow, to fit the team's workflow and software workflow. Kaiten is (as on an opposite to other "bug-tracking DNA" solutions) is a fully Kanban DNA. It allows to quickly begin using the desks and work in YOUR workflow, no matter if it's a Waterfall, SCRUM, or any Agile approach. Moreover, I may combine approaches without modifying workflow, pure kanban+Scrum in dev. team? Sure, NP, no customization required. I highly recommend Kaiten as an Innovative solution for project management and overall business planning and management.
