Anthony Parkhurst (ID: 0000003c8b1e0793) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/02/2015 Reduces the time spent by each person during scrum trying to search the board for the task they are working on.

Hinrich Aue (ID: 000000a00bb30758) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/31/2015 default colors are better than the other tools I have seen. Also colors are custumizable! that's new. It does refresh in case you filter by person and so on, or when you add or change the prefix of a task. The best so far. Configuration with colour picker would be cool...
