Q: Why is a digital workflow board better than my dry erase board?
A: Both are effective, yet one can be shared all throughout the shop and outside of the shop. Sure, you could constantly take pictures of your dry erase board as you update it and text it to all interested parties, but it just makes more sense to allow technology to streamline that process with a digital whiteboard.
