Innovation Visualized

Planbox Kanban provides an overview of your innovation pipeline and workflow, allowing you to prioritize the best concepts and visualize what needs to be done to get them across the finish line.

Jump on Board

Choose between an idea or challenge Kanban board; set them up to suit your workflow or use predefined templates to get the ball rolling.

Idea Board

Within an idea board, ideas are displayed as cards. Depending on your use case, cards could be proposed ideas, emerging technologies being evaluated, or startups being considered.

Challenge Board

Within a challenge board, challenges are displayed as cards. In this case, columns represent the challenge status, an ideal approach to tracking challenge progress across different stages or horizons.

Easy As One-Two-Three

Suitable for organizations and teams of all sizes, Planbox Kanban streamlines workflow management for three fundamental innovation processes:

Triage

prioritize, and develop ideas in collaboration with your team.

Evaluate

the best concepts and track their progress throughout their lifecycle.

Scout

emerging technologies or startups and evaluate the ones that are most beneficial to your organization.

Your Board, Your Rules

Columns represent idea or challenge status, and can be customized however you see fit. Add as many as you want, set a limit on the number of cards each one holds, and drag-and-drop them wherever you want.

Show Your True Colors

Like any workspace, things can get really busy, really fast. Keep the flow going and know what’s what at a glance using a flexible color coding capability that categorizes cards according to innovation category or any other custom criteria you define.

Everything In One Place

Kanban cards may be small, but they have everything you need for on the fly collaboration and evaluation. Under the hood, they provide a snapshot of an idea’s potential value, helping your team work together more cohesively without ever having to exit Kanban.
