Product Information

Full details

This Magflex Lite Kanban Magnets Set in White is designed for teams and individuals seeking a structured and visual approach to project management and task organization. It offers a versatile solution for whiteboards, project boards, and noticeboards, enabling clear assignment and tracking of tasks. A potential consideration is that the set is optimized for magnetic surfaces, so its utility on non-magnetic walls may be limited without an appropriate backing.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Magflex Lite Kanban Magnets Set?

The primary purpose is to provide a visual and organized system for managing tasks and projects on a magnetic surface, using Kanban principles.

Can these magnets be used on a refrigerator?

Yes, if your refrigerator door has a magnetic surface, these magnets should adhere securely.

What are the dimensions of the magnets?

The set includes 5x 140mm x 80mm white dry-wipe scrum board magnets and 5x 75mm x 75mm white dry-wipe scrum board magnets.

What material are the magnets made from?

They are made from non-toxic, environmentally friendly EN71 material.

How do I create custom labels or headings?

The white dry-wipe surface allows you to write directly onto the magnets using a dry-wipe marker. The plain task cards can also be used for custom headings.

Are the character cards customizable?

The character cards are pre-printed and not designed for writing on, but they serve as visual identifiers for team members.

What is the pulling force of the magnets?

Each printed magnet has a pulling force of 30g/cm2.

Troubleshooting

Magnets not sticking securely

Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free of dust or grease. Verify that the surface is indeed magnetic. For older or weaker magnetic surfaces, consider using the larger magnets for heavier tasks.

Difficulty writing on magnets

Use a good quality dry-wipe marker. If the surface becomes less erasable, clean it with a whiteboard cleaner and a soft cloth.

Printed headings are not sufficient

Use the plain task cards as additional heading cards by writing your custom headers on them.

Task cards smudging easily

Allow the ink from the dry-wipe marker to dry completely before touching or moving the card. Clean the surface if smudging persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a complete set for immediate Kanban board setup.
  • Dry-wipe surface allows for flexible and reusable task labeling.
  • Strong magnetic backing ensures magnets stay in place.
  • Facilitates clear visual management of projects and team tasks.
  • Made from safe and environmentally conscious materials.

Cons

  • Effectiveness is dependent on the presence of a magnetic surface.
  • Limited to smaller-scale applications or magnetic boards.
  • Requires separate purchase of a magnetic board if one is not already owned.
  • The dry-wipe surface may require occasional cleaning to maintain optimal readability.
  • Character cards are generic and may require additional labeling for specific roles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Kanban board, first ensure you have a compatible magnetic surface such as a whiteboard, metal cabinet, or dedicated magnetic board. Arrange the printed heading cards to create the columns representing your workflow stages. Place the plain task cards in the relevant columns and use the magnetic pen to write task details on them. Assign ownership by placing the appropriate board character card on or next to the task card.

Compatibility: This set is designed to work best on standard magnetic surfaces. It is not intended for use on non-magnetic walls or surfaces. Ensure your magnetic surface is clean and free from debris for optimal magnetic adhesion.

Care: The dry-wipe surface of the magnets should be cleaned periodically with a soft, dry cloth or a whiteboard cleaner to remove any residual marks and maintain erasability. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the gloss surface. The magnets themselves are made from durable EN71 material and should withstand regular use.
