Every (card wall) Tool Sucks:
Reasons for card wall tools:
- reporting / analytics
- distributed / dispersed teams
- backup / archive
- regulated industries?
Problems with current tools:
- hardware costs not low enough for large monitors to show the entire wall
- when not able to replace physical wall completely, keeping two things in sync is extra work
- teams often do not keep electronic cards up to date
- either restrictive workflows or so general-purpose as to make configuration difficult and costly
- commercial choices are costly
- continuous improvement of workflow not always easy or quick
- no participan
What might help:
- great reduction in price of technologies like large Microsoft Surface monitors
- QR / barcode recognition, OCR
- home grown tools? still runs risk of cost/time to improve workflow, process lock-in
Other ideas:
- 3M Post-it Plus App
- Interns to write/maintain in-house tool and/or keep tool in sync with physical wall
- Trello
