@ Maritza -- I am very much a fan of finding the simplest solution that works. This allows for freedom and flexiblity to innovate in the process, and find new, better, simpler ways ... without a heavy tool/process getting in the way. It's part of the secret of finding the leap-frogs forward.

Hi JD

Thanks for sharing! I like the idea of using an application that you already have for your Personal Kanban a lot.

I've been using Personal Kanban for a couple of years now, and I've used many types and flavours myself, from traditional whiteboards with stickies to pretty much any surface that's available - even a kitchen tray. ;) One of my simplest was a Notepad Kanban, with items moving from sections for To Do, to Doing and Done. This was for a conference workshop I was doing with somebody. We were using Dropbox to share files. Notepad was the one app we both had and could quickly open without having to learn a new tool/board. Sometimes the simplest solutions really are the best.
