Can we talk about that $150 Kanban board template I bought off Gumroad? | Pm Tools Software - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
Man, I bet the real value in that template is just seeing how someone else thinks through their workflow. Sometimes paying for it forces you to actually sit down and use it, you know? Like a commitment device more than a tool.
Maybe it's just me, but @sean48 makes a fair point about wasting money on a workflow you don't end up liking. Do you think having that financial risk actually changes how much you pay attention to the template's structure? Or is it more about just wanting to get your money's worth once you've already spent it?
Is paying for something really the only way to make yourself actually use it though? Seems like that just means you wasted money if you end up not liking the workflow.
