If working on complex calculations or reports, attach these files to the relevant card for easy access.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> 10. Final Reviews and Submission<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Review Completed Work: As tasks reach completion, perform a final review to ensure all standards and specifications have been met.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Close and Archive Cards: Once the task is verified and completed, close the card and archive it for future reference.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> 11. Reflect and Adjust<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Feedback Sessions: After the completion of a project, have a session with the team to discuss what worked well and what can be improved in using KanBo.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Continuous Improvement: Adjust your KanBo setup, space workflows, and card templates based on the feedback for even greater efficiency in future projects.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">By systematically setting up your KanBo environment, maintaining clear communication, and methodically tracking progress, you can significantly enhance the management of your structural engineering tasks. This will lead to more organized projects, a more collaborative team, and overall more efficient project delivery.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section4\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">Glossary and terms<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly, here's a glossary explaining the terms related to KanBo:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Workspace: A Workspace in KanBo is a top-level organizational structure that groups related Spaces under a common theme, project, team, or client. Workspaces facilitate navigation and collaboration by keeping relevant areas arranged together and can be set to varying levels of privacy.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Space: A Space in KanBo is a collection of Cards that visually represent tasks within a workflow. Each Space can be dedicated to a particular project or a specific area of focus within the Workspace it belongs to. Spaces help users manage and track tasks collaboratively, and their layout can be tailored to the workflow of the team.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card: The Card is the basic unit in KanBo that represents an individual task, idea, or item within a Space. Cards hold vital information such as descriptions, notes, deadlines, attachments, and comments. They are highly customizable and you can adapt them to fit diverse situations or project requirements.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Status: Card status indicates the current stage or progress condition of a task within the workflow. Examples include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" \u201cBlocked,\u201d or \"Completed.\" Card statuses help in organizing work and tracking the flow of tasks through different stages.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Relation: Refers to the linkage between cards, often defining dependencies between tasks. A Card Relation can be a parent-child where the parent card encompasses one or more child cards for subdivided tasks, or it can be a sequenced relation denoting a specific order in which tasks should be undertaken.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Date: A feature within a card that highlights key dates associated with the card's life cycle, such as deadlines, start dates, end dates, or any important milestone that needs tracking.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Element: Elements within a card that enrich its content and functionality. These elements can include checklists, notes, to-do lists, file attachments, labels, and more, providing additional detail and structure to the task.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Documents: Files that are attached directly to a Card in KanBo. While documents are stored in and sourced from the associated SharePoint document library, they can be accessed and managed within KanBo for convenience.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Statistics: Analytical features within a card that track and visualize its progress and history. Card Statistics present data such as how much time is spent on a task and status changes over time, providing insights into the card's lifecycle and efficiency.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Responsible Person: The individual within KanBo assigned to oversee and be accountable for the realization of a card. There is typically only one Responsible Person per card, and this role can be reassigned if necessary.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Blocker: Any identified impediment in KanBo that halts or limits the progress of a card. Blockers can be categorized into different types, such as local (specific to a card), global (affecting the entire Space), or on-demand (created as needed) blockers. Having blockers recognized helps teams address issues promptly.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Activity Stream: In KanBo, this is a real-time, chronological feed of all the activities undertaken in a Space or on a Card. It logs actions taken by users, changes made to cards, and updates in the workflow, providing a transparent and comprehensive overview of the collaboration and work progress.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Grouping: A method of organizing cards within a Space based on specified criteria. Users in KanBo can group cards by status, due date, responsible person, or any other relevant attribute. This organization helps with workflow clarity and task management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Issue: Any specific problem associated with a card that poses a challenge in its management. Issues can have visual cues, such as color codes (orange for timing conflicts and red for blockers), making it easier for team members to identify and address problems.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding these terms and their roles within the KanBo platform will help users navigate and maximize the system for effective task management and collaboration.<\/p><div style=\"height:120px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-column paskek-prawy spis is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:270px\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-left:16px\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":10474,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16146","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
