Essential organizing tool, even if you don't know or care what agile is
I bought these to use as Kanban cards, and they work wonderfully for the purpose. They hold dry erase ink and clean up easily. No problems there.The only reason this is a 4 instead of a 5 star are the cards themselves; while the ad copy makes a point of telling you how easy they are to pick up, I find that they stick a bit too eagerly to the board. Having a small corner be nonmagnetized, or with a flap that could be lifted would helpWith that in mind, they are very easy to damage if you are not careful careful while doing so - two of my cards already have vaguely dog-eared corners since the dry erase surface separates from the magnetic backing if you get a fingernail under them the wrong way.This isn't a deal breaker though, so long as you remember to treat the cards with a bit of care.I also recommend only using these on a larger board. The cards are 6.5" wide, which on a 3x2 or smaller board will get cramped quickly, especially once you add swimlanes to your board.With those two caveats in mind, recommended!

Great for PI Planning and SCRUM Meetings. More Professional and Less Waste.
I was curious about this product, so I thought I would give it a try. I work as a Product Owner within a SCRUM Team for a large government contractor who develops utilizing a Scaled Agile framework. Needless to say we were wasting a ton of whiteboard paper and sticky notes in our increment planning and everything looked like a tangled spider-web of a mess. What you are getting with this product are 25 high quality magnetized cards (Think index cards) that are designed for consistency amongst allocated time, feature name, and depencies. You also get the microfiber towel that is also magnetized which is really nice and handy to have so it doesn't get lost and is always within reach.I provided a couple of pictures which show how much more organized and professional our last SCRUM meeting was vs the typical disaster of mismatched sticky's and various sized index cards. This made for a much more professional presentation and organized meeting. That by itself is worth the price of admission for my needs. Oh and at least from my week using them, I haven't had any issue using the supplied marker and wiping the cards off clean, the product isn't cheap feeling so I think these will last quite a while.

Loved it
I love this kit, but I did have an issue where the colored dry erase markers stained it and I couldn’t get it to come off.

Don't erase easily. Easily damaged if you use liquid to clean
I love the concept. They work well on a magnetic whiteboard. They do not erase easily. So, to clean them you need to use a bit of water or window cleaner, but given that they are made of three layers, the middle one being paper, you have to be very careful not to get the edges wet.

My dry erase markers didn't dry erase on them
Ended up having to use wet erase markers, which just turned into being impractical. I no longer even try to use these. The idea is wonderful, but doesn't really work.

Finally, someone created something that is so versatile and easy to use, I don't have to waste paper anymore.
Agile Packs are AWESOME!!!! Just what I needed for work and home. For years I have been wasting tons of paper and post it notes jotting down everything from quick notes to remember, to tasks I need to complete to laying out a project template. Now with Agile Packs, I can do it all without wasting paper. The included Expo fine tip marker and micro fiber towel are perfect complements to the pack to quickly erase mistakes without wasting paper. Being in a cubicle at work trying to brainstorm ideas with a group for a project or having to make a list of tasks or things to do and follow-up on, are now easier than ever because the individual magnetic cards stick to the outside of the metal cabinet in my cubicle. So instead of looking down at multiple pieces of paper, I write everything on an Agile Pack card and stick it to my cabinet, which is great if one or multiple people need to look at what I am working on. And best of all, the micro fiber towel has a magnet in it that sticks to my cabinet, so I don't have to find a home for it or look around for where I put it.Finally, someone created something so simple, yet so versatile and easy to use, I don't have to waste paper anymore. Hooray for Agile Packs!!!!Would like to see in the future an option to choose between a fine tip and ultra fine tip Expo dry erase markers. Look forward to what's next for Agile Packs. I will undoubtedly be on the look out to add on.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0746NL1LM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Nice product!
Happy with this purchase. Although they are a bit pricy for magnets, I am glad I bought them. They have kept me organized at work, and I have received a lot of positive comments at the office. Would recommend.

Colored Expo dry erase markers leave a residue
I used a green Expo dry erase marker on this one and it smeared all over the card and won't completely go away. Otherwise, this is a cool concept and I'm still excited about using this product. Just wish the coating was a touch better quality.
