Perfection that's seemless

In one work amazing. It was a tremendous help during or Sprite Zero. Thank you for an awesome product.

PROS

The most appealing part of the software was how easy it is to use. Everything is seemless and smooth.

CONS

Only recommend changes I would say is to allow overlapping notes.

Like digital post-its

PROS

- Allows you to keep your story map and edit it ongoing, unlike having it on the wall where it often has to come down and all you have left is a photo - Great for distributed teams

CONS

- The lmitations are only those of doing anything on a screen, you can't step back and see the bigger picture

A great product if it's the only thing you were using.

I was attempting to bootstrap some existing teams so that they could start doing more end to end thinking about their products as we were designing and building them.

PROS

I liked that it was very easy to use. Almost everything was very click and drag, which made it really easy to onboard new users who were new to story mapping. I also really appreciated that it let me share a story map across multiple locations. I work with teams in SF and Seattle. A physical board is a nice idea but just not possible with the way that we are distributed.

CONS

I had some challenges with user management. I work in a large enterprise so adding users individually was a bit of a pain and it was challenge to move users from regular viewer to user or admin roles on multiple boards. I also found that bulk moves of cards was difficult. If I wanted to pick up several cards and put them between two existing rows that wasn't really possible without spending 8 or 10 minutes rearranging the other cards around it to keep the map coherent. Also our org runs on-prem JIRA and I had no way to connect JIRA and confluence together, which made it nearly impossible to keep the two in sync. This is ultimately why I stopped using the product.

Functional But Not Robust

It was functional, but it felt like there were too many obstacles in the way to be an efficient replacement for index cards and a camera. I can see it being useful for other teams but not for ours.

PROS

The learning curve was short, so picking up CardBoard and using it was fast. Creating cards and laying them out was easy.

CONS

The cards, as displayed, were much too small. In order to even include all of the information that a User Story requires for one side of the card much of the text was hidden. The back was always hidden. The grid layout was much too rigid, I had hoped for the ability to overlap cards. If these features were present they were not obvious. Laying out cards initially was easy, but the UI resisted efforts to move cards very far (especially using a touch interface). If I needed to move a card to a different part of the board it was almost easier to delete and recreate it than move it.

Story map layout !

Cardboardit was my favourite online post it notes but then I found Mural :) . It gave me much more than cardboardit. But that said , cardboardit was there when Mural wasn’t and pioneered the way !

PROS

The one thing I really love is the fact that I could map out anything I want ! Any flow and which way. The multiple colours definitely help In segregating . I’ve used it as a Kanban board , for story mapping and even for roadmapping to an extent . Multi talented

CONS

Lack of templates is something that bugs me at times. With a tool like cardboardit people could cod what not and use it for what not . I think it’s capable of much more.

Ok but needs work, especially with integrations (previous version)

PROS

Easy to create cards, add details There are few user story map tools out there, this is one of the better ones

CONS

Jira integration is awful, mostly didn't work, and can only have two colors of cards.

Numerous features make CardBoard a viable tool for User Story Mapping

We used CardBoard for traditional Story Mapping exercises when building an initial product backlog as part of user story workshops. The need for this tool diminished as teams fell into a more regular backlog refinement meeting cadence. For initially decomposing epics/features into user stories this was a decent virtual tool for remote team participants. For co-located teams we find more tactical physical story mapping with sticky notes to be far more engaging.

PROS

Numerous features to support multiple 'thinking-styles' when capturing the user story journey (colors, annotations, grid design, etc.). The integration with VersionOne was a key element for us when using any digital story mapping tool.

CONS

Encountered a few bugs or hiccups when collaborating with remote participants.

CardBoard - An easy to use and efficient mockup software!

Overall, I had a great experience using CardBoard and will continue to use it in the future.

PROS

I felt that the program was very easy to use and intuitive. It was easy to create complex mockups in a short amount of time. There were many customization elements that helped accent certain parts of the design and make it easy to understand layout

CONS

Not really any cons, but I think adding some additional features in terms of custom geometric shapes, lines and text would be great. That said, it's not necessarily needed when dealing with simple mock up drawings.

Great Software!!! Super useful just not sure if it's worth the money

I use Cardboard for my UX process. It helps me clarify ideas and create workflows. It helps me solve problems for my users at work and is beneficial because of that

PROS

I liked how it helped me spell out my user story maps and user flows without having to buy a huge whiteboard. It saved me space and time because of these reasons. I like the ease of use and how intuitive the software was.

CONS

The pricing, I wasn't sure I would use it enough to make it worth the cost. If there was a unlimited free version that would give me one or two boards a month that would be nice.

Great Application

It has been great... I've created the story maps for the epics that my team is working on (I'm the Product Owner) and it was awesome that they were able to understand the roles and everything.

PROS

Very easy to use by adding the "post it" notes and moving them around.

CONS

The shortcuts are not "windows" standards, so it takes some time to get use to them. Also, the limited "configuration" about its integration to JIRA. it might work great for some users, but does not work for story maps.

An elegant, focused piece of software

We use CardBoard for release-slicing and roadmapping, as well as for the overall purpose of user story mapping. It plays well with others and is easy to use. Software that is this well-done is extremely hard to find these days. I highly recommend this software.

PROS

Web-based, so it's everywhere you need it to be.

CONS

I would like a project-based pricing model, rather than a community one. Sometimes what I need is one board for a group of people who will never work together again.

Cardboardit Works

I've been using it for years. It was probably one of the first electronic story board mapping tools available. It now has a different UI with added bells and whistles. I don't necessarily need them all, but it's nice to see that it's being improved.

PROS

It's great to have a way to keep your sticky notes in an electronic format versus on a wall falling off after a few weeks. We use it to create simple story boards for multiple use cases and can share with distributed teams.

CONS

The copy paste functionality is horrible. Previously, you could copy a series of cards and then paste to quickly create different use cases/jouneys in the same board. It would create a copy directly over your original layouts. You could then move the duplicates where ever you wanted and quickly update. Now, when you paste, it shifts everything down and I have to spend 10 minutes shifting individual cards back up. That's my only main problem with the tool.

Great story mapping tool

Electronic tools for story mapping are really hard to come by. Fortunately we have found CardBoard.

PROS

The best thing about Cardboard is that it offers other modes of use, e.g. integrating to JIRA or printing cards for real world manipulation.

CONS

Sharing (allowing Viewers) for a large community is constrained by either configuration (public vs private) or administration (long list of emails.)

Thank you for your review as we look to improve CardBoard!

Review from Dhaya (LendKey)

It's been great so far! Love all the recent changes that were made too.

PROS

Ease of use! It's very easy to create digital story maps. We use story maps for all our projects.

CONS

- There's no ability to create folders. Since we create many story boards across the organization, there's no way to organize.
