Kanban tools lack subtask hierarchy and epic-level project structure
Teams managing multi-level work—epics, stories, subtasks—find that basic kanban tools cannot represent hierarchical dependencies or roll up performance at a project or epic level. Users want subtasks that can themselves be independent tasks, and dashboards that aggregate across the hierarchy. This is a scaling gap as kanban-first teams grow in complexity.
