We've been using this tool since we're a LEAN company, but it actually is a
good way to assign tasks/projects and delegate tasks so everyone can see
what is going on. Managers can move cards to your active lane or ask why a
task/project has stalled.
I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for but as a team management
tool, this has mostly worked for us for the last 3-4 years. YMMV.
