They serve as a reminder of what needs to be done and allow for measurement and improvement of task completion times.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Customize Workflow Stages within Spaces<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To mirror your process from ideation to product launch in a digital format.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ This helps visualize the flow of tasks and enables the identification of bottlenecks. When stages like 'Design Review', 'Compliance Check', or 'Final Testing' are clear, it ensures that the product meets all necessary standards and is ready for the market.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 7: Define Card Relations and Dependencies<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To establish the precedence and dependencies of tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ Understanding how tasks relate informs priority setting and ensures that you address prerequisites before moving forward. This avoids unnecessary delays and ensures the smooth progression of the development cycle.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 8: Monitor Progress<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To continually assess where projects stand relative to their completion dates.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ Tracking progress allows for timely interventions to keep projects on track and informs you of when to escalate or allocate additional resources.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 9: Use the Time Chart View<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To analyze the time spent on various stages of the process.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ The Time Chart View provides insights into the efficiency of your workflows, helping identify any areas where improvements can be made.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 10: Apply the Forecast Chart View for Project Predictions<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To make data-driven estimates about project completion and resource allocation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ Forecasting helps in planning and can lead to better decision-making by predicting future project timelines based on past performance.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 11: Optimize Workflows through Continuous Improvement<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To make necessary adjustments to the process based on performance data and team feedback.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ Continuous improvement ensures that your workflows remain efficient, effective, and aligned with technological advances and market demands. It enables you to refine processes to achieve better results consistently.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step Final: Engage in Collaborative Reviews and Adjustments<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Purpose:_ To collectively evaluate processes and make decisions on workflow alterations.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">_Why:_ Collaboration fosters a culture of shared responsibility and innovation. By inviting input from all members of the team, you can leverage diverse expertise and experience to optimize every aspect of the development process.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section4\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">Glossary and terms<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a glossary of some common terms used in process and workflow management, as well as in the context of using project and task management tools similar to KanBo:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1.
