It provides a structure for organization and simplifies navigation and collaboration between users.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Space: Within a workspace, a space is a collection of cards arranged to represent the flow of work visually. Spaces usually correspond to specific projects or areas of focus and promote effective task management and team collaboration within a digital workspace.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card: The fundamental unit within KanBo, representing tasks, notes, or actionable items. Cards are versatile and contain key information like descriptions, attached files, comments, due dates, and checklists. They are used to track and manage individual tasks and can be customized for different types of work.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Status: Reflects the current stage or phase of a card (task), helping to organize and prioritize work. Examples of card statuses include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" and \"Completed.\" Monitoring card statuses helps in calculating work progress and aids in project forecasting and analysis.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Relation: Represents dependencies between cards, establishing a connection that indicates how tasks are related. This concept is used to define the order of tasks and can make work more efficient by showing which tasks should follow or precede others.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Date: Dates associated with cards that signify deadlines or milestones. This feature helps manage time-sensitive tasks and ensures that the project timeline is adhered to.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Element: Features within a card that include descriptions, checklists, and tools for organizing documents. They add to the detail and utility of the card, facilitating better task management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Documents: Files that are attached to a card for reference or further action. These files, which are stored within SharePoint document libraries, ensure that the most up-to-date versions are accessible and editable from within KanBo.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Statistics: Analytical tools that display visual summaries and insights into a card's history and progress. They provide valuable information for monitoring efficiency and identifying areas for improvement.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Responsible Person: The designated user in charge of overseeing and ensuring the completion of a task. Only one user can be assigned as the responsible person for each card, but this assignment can be changed as necessary.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Blocker: An issue or obstacle that hinders the progress of a task. Blockers can be categorized, and multiple blockers may be identified for a single task to outline the reasons for delays or standstills.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Activity Stream: A dynamic, chronological list of actions and updates within KanBo that provides a real-time overview of what has been done, by whom, and when. It includes links to relevant cards and workspaces and each card, space, and user has its own activity stream.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Grouping: A feature that allows users to categorize and organize cards based on selected criteria such as status, assigned user, deadlines, etc., facilitating easier management and overview of related tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Issue: Problems or conflicts associated with a card that need attention for resolution. These issues are color-coded, with time-related issues often highlighted in orange and issues related to blockers marked in red.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">By understanding these terms, an MFSA can effectively manage their tasks, workflow, and client interactions within the KanBo platform, ensuring a high level of organization and efficiency in their role.<\/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-16161","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
