Workspace: A grouping within KanBo that contains various related spaces. It serves as an organizational unit for projects, teams, or topics and determines the accessibility and visibility for teams working together.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2. Space: A part of a KanBo workspace that houses a collection of cards. It provides a visually structured way to represent workflows and manage tasks. Spaces are commonly used for individual projects or areas that require ongoing attention and task management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3. Card: The basic building block in KanBo, representing a single task or item. Cards carry important details such as descriptions, due dates, attached files, comments, and checklists. Each card can be moved through different stages in a workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4. Card status: Indicates the progress of a task within its lifecycle. Examples include \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" and \"Completed.\" Card statuses help organize work and provide insights into the overall progress of projects.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">5. Card relation: Describes the connections between different cards that establish dependencies. Relations help manage workflows by indicating the sequence of tasks. Card relations can either be \"parent to child\" or \"previous to next.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">6. Card date: Refers to the due date or any significant dates associated with a card. These dates help track important milestones and deadlines within the workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">7. Card element: Components that constitute the details of a card, including notes, to-do lists, and document organization setups. They enable users to articulate and structure task-specific information within each card.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">8. Card documents: Files attached to a card. These documents are stored within KanBo and are often referenced from a SharePoint document library, ensuring version control and file integrity.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">9. Card statistics: Analytical features providing insights into the completion process of a task. These statistics present detailed visualizations such as charts and time summaries to help understand the performance and progress of tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">10. Responsible Person: The individual designated as accountable for the completion of a task represented by a card. There can be only one responsible person per card, but this can be reassigned as necessary.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">11. Card blocker: Refers to an impediment that stalls the progress of a card. Blockers can come in various forms such as local (specific to the task), global (affecting the entire project), or on-demand (temporary issues).<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">12. Activity stream: An interactive, real-time list of all activities and updates that occur within KanBo. It acts as a logbook, detailing what changes are made, by who, and when, linking back to the relevant cards and spaces.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">13. Card grouping: A method of organizing cards in a space. Users can group cards by different criteria like status, assignment, due date, etc. This keeps work organized and provides clarity on workflow and responsibilities.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">14. Card issue: Any specific problem with a card that might hinder its management or progression. Issues are flagged with colors (orange for time conflicts and red for blockers) to signify their nature and urgency. <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">This glossary covers essential terminology that will be encountered when using KanBo for task and project management.
