Outil collaboratif de cartographie des historiques et parcours utilisateur basé sur le web
4.2/5 (168 avis)CardBoard est une solution en ligne pour la planification de projet en équipe, fournissant un "environnement de travail" permettant de cartographier l'historique de l'utilisateur. Hébergés dans le cloud, les types de licence par utilisateur et par mois du produit basé sur SaaS commencent par une inscription gratuite "à vie" et une allocation illimitée de forums publics. Les forfaits payants Essential, Professional et Enterprise regroupent des fonctionnalités plus avancées, y compris la collaboration en temps réel. Les membres de l'équipe peuvent ensuite être rapidement invités pour partager des vues de tableau et travailler en collaboration sur des cartes récapitulatives décrivant les parcours des clients ou visualiser les expériences des utilisateurs, les flux de travail, les flux cognitifs, les récits ou les parcours de test. Dans ses propres mots, s'apparentant à un mélange de Google Documents et de Post-It Notes, CardBoard tire parti de l'édition par glisser-déposer pour organiser des "cartes" dans un espace de travail infini basé sur un navigateur. En ajoutant des titres personnalisés à l'avant et du texte détaillé à l'arrière, les cartes peuvent être rapidement repositionnées et réarrangées sur n'importe quel périphérique grâce à un alignement intuitif, tandis que les annotations, les images et les thèmes de couleurs peuvent également être utilisés pour approfondir la discussion.
De plus, CardBoard se connecte facilement à divers outils de suivi populaires comme JIRA, Confluence, TFS, VersionOne, Pivotal Tracker et Rally. Une fois connectés entre eux, les utilisateurs professionnels sont en mesure de visualiser l'avancement du produit et les estimations de carte en activant ou en désactivant le statut, en prenant en charge toute planification et toute nouvelle planification, si nécessaire. Les autres caractéristiques importantes incluent notamment le téléchargement de données CSV et l'accès à des modèles publics personnalisables, tandis que le cryptage des données, les rapports d'activité des utilisateurs, la facturation et la prise en charge de l'authentification unique (SSO) viennent appuyer les fonctionnalités de base.
Avantages
* Very easy to start using it. After you get yourself familiar with the Story Map Concept and sign up for CardBoard, you can start doing the mapping exercise in no-time.
* Simple, yet powerful interface. There aren't too many features in the interface (and I'm not saying they are needed), and that makes the UI nice and clean. You won't get lost in tons of unnecessary or rarely used features, everything is at hand and useful.
Inconvénients
The app itself is great, the following points are not criticism, rather ways of further improvement:
* Story mapping is not a wide know concept, so some tutorial(s) about story mapping would be great. For example, the competitors storiesonboard offers a "User Story Mapping for beginners" guide. Something like this would be helpful for CardBoard users as well.
* UI could benefit from some additions, e.g. to allow to increase the card titles font.
Thank you for the review and suggestions for future improvements.
Overall, this has changed my teams approach of how we work with the business! It is a great interactive tool and our business stakeholders love walking through the roadmap and scope in this collaborative tool!
Avantages
The software simply and quickly allows us to build the framework (skeleton/backbone) of the business process and how technology supports through through the power of cards. Through this process we able to quickly understand our knowledge gaps. The journey feature also provides focus during deeper discussions.
Inconvénients
Most of the quirks were address in the latest update (biggest being the introduction of colors and new layouts). However, we still struggle with the printing capabilities and how if needed we need to share in a planning session.
Thank you for your review!
Anyone who has read the User Story Mapping book gets why a tool like CardBoard is great for doing/saving story maps. It did install easily and I got started quick enough.
In my searching/research, I eventually came across StoriesOnBoard, who also follow the tenets in Patton's book. However, they clearly have the imagination to take it further and built in better tools for managing multiple stories, etc. We ended up choosing SoB, despite the fact that (at the time) they didn't have TFS integration.
And while this wasn't a factor in my decision, the CEO himself did a late night (for him, in Europe) walk through demo with me to answer some of my questions.
Avantages
I learned about CardBoard from book, User Story Mapping. I so wanted this to be more, but it's a basic implementation of story boarding. It did have TFS integration, which I wanted. I also loved the whole premise of a virtual board for doing story mapping with a remote team.
Inconvénients
I found it to be too basic and not very imaginative in its implementation. Given that we'd want to use it with multiple stories and have one place, I felt it didn't give us the tools to do that.
I found the software quite useful for basic storyboarding and brainstorming new projects. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the JIRA integration and the nature of the work I'm doing, it just wasn't useful for anything other than large/complicated projects that need a fair amount of planning and it could only be used in the initial stages. Once I had the list of story "slugs" it was better to manually migrate the list over to JIRA and cease using Cardboard.
Avantages
I quite liked the intuitive interface and ease of storyboarding things.
Inconvénients
The JIRA integration left something to be desired. The software did not do a good job of informing me of what it would do when I synced the two. It was also not clear to me that this was not a constant sync. Changes in one product were not automatically migrated over to the other. This was especially problematic because later syncs of the stories and epics caused duplicates of the previously synchronized items to appear because the system did not identify previously sync'd stories.
I stumbled upon CardBoard a long time ago (2011) when I wanted an easy way to capture a Story Map. I really liked how easy it was to drop cards, move them around, and add some comments. The Team really enjoyed the look and feel of it. It did what we wanted and nothing more. I'm not a heavy user of it, but when I do need to put together a Story Map, CardBoard is what I turn to.
Avantages
The simplicity of the tool, it provided me with what I wanted and did not over complicate it with features I did not need.
Inconvénients
The export to excel option was pretty messy, but then again why export it?
What I wanted was a way to capture the full board visually to put into a document or communication, to show the overall Story Map (which I could not get in screen shots) I realize I could provide a link to the board for people to access and see the actual Map, but sometimes you just want a picture of it to support a communication.

I've become interested in product management and read about User Story Mapping technique. Then I googled for a story mapping software and that's how I got to CardBoard. I tried it for a few of my own projects and it worked nice! I was able to create a visual backlog of things I had to do, and track my progress against the backlog. Everything was very transparent and easy to understand, so I highly recommend learning Story Mapping and trying Cardboard to everybody.
