Excellent clarification of Swimlanes. I used to think that they create unnecessary complication. After watching this short video, I now see that Swimlanes actually simplify and clarify the roadmap.

Very instructive, thanks. If only Gliffy had a free account opportunity for small non-profit organisations.... that would be brilliant and could come with PR on available channels about using the tool ;-)
