This glossary is geared toward the strategic planning and project management framework that often employs tools like KanBo. It serves as a quick-reference guide to help users better understand the key concepts and terminology used within such systems.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Glossary Terms:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Workspace: A collection of related spaces which acts as a parent structure to organize various projects, teams, or topics under one umbrella for easier management and navigation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Space: A configurable environment within a workspace that visually represents a workflow. It contains cards that are used to manage tasks and track progress on projects or operational areas.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Card: The basic unit within a space, representing an individual task or item that is managed within the system. It features details such as descriptions, attached files, comments, assigned dates, and checklists.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Card Relation: A link established between cards indicating a dependency or sequence. It can take the form of parent-child or predecessor-successor relationships, illustrating the hierarchy or order of tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Dates in Cards: Various date markers on a card that indicate timelines for task completion including start dates, due dates, card-specific dates, and reminder dates.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Responsible Person: The user assigned to oversee and ensure the completion of a particular card. They are the primary party accountable for the task at hand.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Co-Worker: Users associated with a card who contribute to the completion of the task but are not primarily responsible for its overall progress.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Child Card Group: A subset of cards organized under a parent card. It categorizes related tasks, making it easier to follow multiple components of a larger project.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Card Blocker: Issues or factors that impede the progress of a card. These can be local (specific to the card), global (affecting multiple cards), or on-demand (arising as needed).<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Activity Stream: A dynamic, time-ordered list of all the actions taken within a space or regarding a specific card. It provides transparency and an audit trail for users to follow what has happened and who was involved.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Gantt Chart View: A space view format that arranges time-dependent cards on a timeline, allowing users to see the duration and overlap of tasks in a visual representation, facilitating long-term planning.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Forecast Chart View: A projection-based visualization which helps track the progress of completed and remaining tasks, using historical data to estimate the timeframe for project completion.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Time Chart View: An analytical view showing the duration metrics such as lead time, reaction time, and cycle time for cards. It is instrumental in identifying workflow bottlenecks and improving process efficiency.<\/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":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-17795","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
