Below is a glossary of terms related to KanBo and task management, each explained for clarity:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Workspace: A collective container in KanBo that groups together a set of related Spaces. It serves to categorize and structure the areas of focus or projects so they are easier to manage and collaborate on. Workspaces can be set with specific access permissions to control the level of privacy and team involvement.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Space: A designated area within a Workspace in KanBo that holds a collection of Cards. Think of it as a virtual board representing a project or a specific workflow. Spaces can be customized to track different stages of a task's lifecycle and to facilitate teamwork and task management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card: The fundamental unit of task management within KanBo. It represents an individual task or item that carries essential details such as descriptions, checklists, attachments, deadlines, and comments. Cards move through different stages of completion, noted by their statuses, and are the central elements for tracking work progress.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Status: A label that indicates the current progress or phase of a task within a Card. Examples of card statuses include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" and \"Completed.\" The status helps organize work and provides a visual indication of a card's progression.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Relation: Connections established between Cards in KanBo symbolizing dependency or sequence. There are two types of card relations: \"parent and child,\" which is hierarchical, and \"next and previous,\" which is sequential. This assists in breaking down tasks and understanding their order of execution.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Date: Dates of significance associated with a Card in KanBo, such as deadlines, reminders, or milestones. These dates help in scheduling and tracking progress for tasks within the project timeline.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Element: The different components or features that make up the contents of a Card in KanBo. They include task details, to-do lists, file attachments organized into groups and folders, and more. These elements provide structure and context to the tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Documents: Files that are attached to a KanBo Card. They are properly organized within the card and are sourced from SharePoint libraries. Card documents allow users to collaborate on and manage document versions effectively within a task's context.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Statistics: Analytical features within KanBo that provide insights into the performance and progress of tasks represented by Cards. It includes visual charts and summaries that detail the card's lifecycle, such as time spent in each status and frequency of updates.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Responsible Person: In KanBo, this is the individual who is assigned the task of ensuring the completion of a specific Card. There is typically only one Responsible Person per card, although this can be reassigned as needed.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Blocker: Refers to any problem or impediment which halts the progress of a task within KanBo. Card blockers can be categorized into types like \"local,\" \"global,\" and \"on-demand,\" helping to clarify and categorize issues preventing task completion.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Activity Stream: A real-time log in KanBo that displays a chronological list of activities across Cards and Spaces. It's designed to provide transparency and insights into what actions have been taken, by whom and when. The stream includes links to the related Cards and Spaces to facilitate navigation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Grouping: A feature within KanBo Spaces that allows for the classification of Cards based on specific criteria such as status, due date, assigned user, or other customized labels. This helps users to organize and manage tasks more effectively within a project.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Issue: Problems associated with a specific Card that hinder its management or progress. In KanBo, these are visually indicated with colors \u2013 with time-related issues marked in orange and card blocker-related issues in red \u2013 for immediate recognition and action.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">These terms present a cohesive overview of the hierarchical and functional structure of KanBo, a task management platform designed for coordinating work and enhancing team 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-16160","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
