Did you know - How KanBo Child Card Groups can enhance project management in the Automotive Industry?

KanBo Child Card Groups

As an example, let's say you are working on a project to improve the safety features of your vehicles. You could create a Child Card Group dedicated to this project, and within that Group, create child cards for each phase of the project (such as research, testing, and implementation). Each child card could then be assigned to the appropriate team member, with deadlines and other necessary information included.

With KanBo's Child Card Groups, you can easily monitor progress on each task, set reminders for deadlines, and track overall project completion. The child cards themselves can be edited and updated as needed, with any changes automatically reflected in the Child Card Group view.

Child Card Groups can also be used for maintenance tasks, such as routine inspections of manufacturing equipment or scheduling regular servicing for vehicles. By grouping these tasks together and establishing a regular schedule, you can reduce downtime and improve overall productivity.

In short, Child Card Groups offer a flexible and efficient way to manage complex projects and streamline your daily tasks. Whether you're working in research and development, quality control, or manufacturing, KanBo can help you stay organized and on track.

Use case

Let's explore a use case of how KanBo Child Card Groups can be used in the automotive industry. 

Imagine you're working on a highly complex project to develop a new engine model for your company. There are hundreds of different tasks that need to be completed in order to get the engine to production. By using KanBo Child Card Groups, this seemingly overwhelming project can be managed in an orderly and efficient way. 

You create a Child Card Group for the project that can then be broken down into separate child cards, each with its own set of tasks and deadlines. For example, you might create child cards for engine design, testing, and production. Each child card can then be assigned to a team member responsible for that specific task, with all necessary details included in the card, such as documents, comments, or images. This way, everyone involved in the project understands the overall flow of the project and the tasks they are responsible for. 

With KanBo, you can also utilize your existing Microsoft Office skills to work within the Child Card Groups. For example, you can easily attach Excel spreadsheets within a child card to track budgets or timelines, and Word documents can be used to document important project details. Plus, you can collaborate within these documents in real-time with your team members by using the built-in Co-Authoring. 

As you complete tasks or milestones within each child card, the overall progress of the Child Card Group is updated, giving you and your team a clear understanding of the project's status and where each task stands in relation to the whole project. 

Using KanBo Child Card Groups can make highly complex projects feel more manageable, improve collaboration and productivity for teams, and keep everyone on the same page.
