Each workspace serves as an organizational unit that makes it easier to collaborate and navigate through related Spaces and tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Space: In KanBo, a Space is a collection of Cards. Spaces are used to visually represent workflows and are typically associated with specific projects or areas of focus within the organization. Spaces serve as the primary structures for collaboration and task management on the KanBo platform.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card: A Card is a fundamental unit in KanBo, representing an individual task, idea, or item of work. Cards can contain a variety of information, including notes, files, comments, dates, and checklists. Cards are highly flexible and can be adapted to fit the specific needs of a task or workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Status: Card Status indicates the stage or current condition of a task within a workflow. Common statuses include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" and \"Completed.\" By categorizing cards into different statuses, KanBo allows users to track and visualize the progress of each task or project.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Relation: Card Relation refers to the interconnectedness of cards, representing dependencies between tasks. Establishing relationships between cards helps users break down complex tasks into manageable components and understand the sequence in which tasks should be tackled.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Date: Card Date is a feature that allows users to assign dates to tasks or milestones associated with a Card. This helps in planning and tracking critical deadlines and events throughout the workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Element: Card Elements are the different features that make up the content of a KanBo Card. These could include task descriptions, notes, to-do lists, card statistics, and documents. They provide detailed information necessary for task completion.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Documents: Card Documents are files and documents attached to a KanBo Card. These documents can be grouped and organized within the card, and they typically reside in the SharePoint document library, which facilitates easy editing and version management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Statistics: Card Statistics provide analytical insights into the task completion process of a Card. The feature offers visual charts and hourly summaries that help users understand the lifecycle and efficiency of their work on a card.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Responsible Person: The Responsible Person is the user who is assigned responsibility for overseeing and completing a task represented by a KanBo Card. There can only be one responsible person per card, though it can be reassigned as necessary.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Blocker: A Card Blocker is an identified obstacle that hinders the progress of a task. Blockers are categorized into local, global, and on-demand types, and they help clarify the reasons behind work delays.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Activity Stream: The Activity Stream is a dynamic, interactive feed in KanBo showing a real-time chronological list of activities across Cards and Spaces. It keeps track of actions and changes made within the system, bolstering transparency and accountability among team members.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Grouping: Card Grouping is a KanBo feature that allows users to organize tasks into categories based on common characteristics. This helps in efficient management by clustering together similar tasks or issues for quick reference and action.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Issue: A Card Issue refers to a problem associated with a Card that may affect its progression or management. Card Issues are marked with color codes\u2014orange for time conflicts and red for blockers affecting the card.<\/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-16173","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
