Oh, and I didn’t know that Trello has a similar feature as well!

I’ve used kanban boards for different kinds of teams (IT related) and I’m also using kanban for personal task management.
A key feature of kanban boards s the notion of limited Work In Progress: in each “column” of your board (except maybe the first one which might be your backlog), you cannot have more than X cards at the same time (X has to be determined based on the context and the capacity of the individual or the team).
The ability of limiting work in progress is really a key feature of a kanban board.
My 2 cents,
Jerome

Not really. I’ve repeatedly used swimlanes to break down to-dos based on family member, just as one example. You can use it to differentiate different projects so that you don’t need to muck up multiple projects on one board (or have to use multiple boards). It’s *extremely* useful.

I am not a big user of Kanban boards, though I do find them useful for tracking certain things (for instance, I use Trello to track printing and reprinting of books for the nonprofit publisher I work for). What you might find useful is an app like Asana, which allows you to view projects in Kanban boards, but also has other views. This way you can use the Kanban view when it is applicable, but also have other views for the big overviews you are looking. The free version of Asana is very useable.

This is the raison d’être of Zenkit.com and Airtable.com does this as well.
If you mainly want infinite whiteboard space that offers kanban, sticky notes, mindmapping and images/video (plus collaboration) there’s realtimeboard.com
