Workspace: A Workspace is akin to a broad container within KanBo that groups together Spaces relating to a specific project, team, or thematic area. It serves as a central hub for relevant Spaces, simplifying navigation and fostering teamwork.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2. Space: A Space is a collection of Cards organized to visually represent work processes and task flows. They resemble individual projects or areas of work focus, enabling users to manage tasks and collaborate effectively within discreet contexts.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3. Card: A Card is the fundamental building unit in KanBo, embodying tasks or actionable items. Equipped with essential information such as notes, attachments, comments, due dates, and checklists, Cards can be tailored to suit various tasks' requirements.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4. Card Status: Card Status denotes the current phase or progress state of a task within a Card. Examples include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" or \"Completed.\" Understanding the status of Cards facilitates work organization and progression analytics.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">5. Card Relation: Card Relation signifies a linkage or dependency between Cards. This concept helps in organizing workstreams by defining the sequential or hierarchical interdependencies of tasks, with \"parent\" and \"child\" or \"previous\" and \"next\" being two types of relationships.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">6. Card Date: Card Date refers to date markers set on Cards to define deadlines or milestones pertinent to the task at hand. These dates assist in timeline management and scheduling within the workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">7. Card Element: Card Elements are various features that populate the contents of a Card. These may include descriptive elements like notes, to-do lists, document groupings, and more, which contribute to organizing and defining the details of a task.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">8. Card Documents: Card Documents are files that are attached and associated with a Card, residing within document groups or folders. They are sourced from SharePoint document libraries, permitting collaborative editing without duplicating or versioning issues.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">9. Card Statistics: Card Statistics offer analytical views into the lifecycle and execution data of a Card. Displayed through charts and time-based summaries, these statistics provide insight into task completion processes.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">10. Responsible Person: The Responsible Person is the individual accountable for the accomplishment of a task encapsulated in a Card. There is typically only one Responsible Person per Card, although the responsibility can be transferred among users as needed.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">11. Card Blocker: A Card Blocker represents an impediment or problem that halts the advance of a Card's task. Blockers can come in various forms, such as local, global, or on-demand, and provide clarity on why a task may be stalled.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">12. Activity Stream: The Activity Stream in KanBo is a dynamic, live-feed that lists all recent actions in chronological order. It acts as a logbook, detailing activities on Cards and Spaces, who performed them, and when, with links for quick access.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">13. Card Grouping: Card Grouping is an organizational feature that allows grouping Cards according to selected criteria. It enables users to categorize and display tasks in a structured manner within Spaces, enhancing task management efficiency.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">14. Card Issue: A Card Issue is a notation of a problem associated with a Card, impeding its management. Issues may be time-related, indicated in orange, or due to blockers, marked in red, and serve as alerts requiring attention or resolution.<\/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-16183","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
