Why Kanban is Better than Spreadsheets for Project Management

Spreadsheets are often the go-to tool for managing projects, but they fall short when it comes to dynamic workflows and team collaboration. Kanban, with its visual, interactive, and flexible nature, offers a superior approach to managing projects efficiently. By switching from static spreadsheets to a robust Kanban system, teams can enhance productivity, communication, and workflow transparency.
