Use case

Let's take the example of an automotive company that is tasked with developing and launching a new vehicle model. The project involves several teams, including design, engineering, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and finance. To keep track of all the tasks and deadlines involved in the project, the team decides to use KanBo's Gantt Chart View.

Using KanBo's Gantt Chart View is simple and intuitive. First, the team can create a new board specific to this vehicle model development project and add the various teams as members. Then, they can add cards to the board that represent the various tasks involved in the project, such as designing the exterior, testing the engine, creating marketing materials, and so on.

Using their Microsoft Office skills, users can format the cards to represent the various stages of the project and add additional details, such as task descriptions, responsible team members, and deadlines. They can even attach files or links to relevant documents or resources.

Once all cards are added, users can simply drag and drop them along the timeline to adjust their deadlines or duration. KanBo's Gantt Chart View will automatically update the bar chart to reflect these changes, giving users a quick snapshot of the project's status.

Here are some examples of tasks involved in the new vehicle model project that can be added as cards on the KanBo Gantt Chart View:

• Designing the Exterior: This card can be assigned to the design team and include a detailed description of the design requirements, sketches or CAD models, and a deadline for completion.

By using KanBo's Gantt Chart View, the automotive company can keep track of all the tasks involved in the vehicle model development project, ensure that everyone is aware of what needs to be done and by when, and avoid potential delays or missed deadlines.

In conclusion, KanBo's Gantt Chart View is a simple and effective tool for managing project schedules, regardless of the industry.
