3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">How to work with KanBo as an Idea management tool<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, let's outline the steps a Presales Productivity Manager might follow for managing ideas using KanBo in a general corporate and business context. <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Establish Idea Management Workspaces<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Creating specific workspaces dedicated to idea management ensures that all ideas are centrally located and easily accessible to relevant stakeholders while maintaining separation from other business processes.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Segregating the idea management process allows for easy tracking of the idea lifecycle and ensures that the ideation process remains focused and well-organized.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Define Folders for Idea Categories<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Group similar ideas or those that align with specific business units, strategic goals, or themes within categorized folders, for better organization and future reference.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Categorization aids in streamlining the evaluation process and facilitates resource allocation by identifying common threads or strategic relevance in ideas.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Create Spaces for Idea Collection<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Use Spaces within KanBo to represent different stages or types of the idea management process, such as submission, evaluation, or development stages.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: This helps in systematically progressing ideas from conception to implementation while ensuring that ideas at different stages of maturity are handled appropriately.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Add Idea Cards<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Each new idea is added as an individual Card within the appropriate Space, containing all relevant details and possible attachments like pitches or presentations.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Cards serve as central hubs for all information related to an idea, facilitating clear and concise communication among stakeholders involved in the idea management process.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Set Card Relations and Dependencies<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Connect related cards or subtasks to monitor the progression of ideas through their dependencies.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Understanding the relationships between ideas or their constituent parts ensures seamless progression and helps to identify potential bottlenecks early in the process.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Utilize Card Grouping for Review Sessions<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: For periodic review sessions, group cards by status, category, or stakeholder feedback to prioritize and assess the value of each idea.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Grouping enables clearer visibility over the collection of ideas and helps in quick decision-making to escalate, pivot, or retire ideas based on collective feedback.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 7: Assign Responsible Persons and Co-Workers<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Assign a Responsible Person and Co-Workers to each Card to establish clear ownership and distributed accountability for carrying the idea forward.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Ownership ensures that each idea has a champion who is accountable for its progress, while collaborators can contribute their expertise to refine and advance the idea.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 8: Integrate Activity Stream for Transparency<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Employ KanBo\u2019s Activity Stream to track and document the progress and changes made to each idea in real-time.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: A transparent log of activities enables all participants to stay informed about the latest developments and ensures that the process remains open and traceable.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 9: Review and Prioritize with KanBo Tools<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Utilize KanBo\u2019s features like filtering, forecasting charts, and time charts to analyze, review, and prioritize ideas based on metrics.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Analytical tools enable data-driven decision-making, ensuring that priority is given to ideas with the highest potential impact and alignment with business objectives.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 10: Communicate and Collaborate Effectively<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Purpose: Foster a culture of collaboration by actively using KanBo\u2019s communication tools, such as comments, mentions, email integration, and inviting external users for collaboration.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">  - Why: Effective communication ensures all voices are heard, enriches the ideation process with diverse perspectives, and promotes a collaborative environment essential for innovation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">By following these steps, a Presales Productivity Manager can leverage KanBo to facilitate a robust and effective idea management process, driving innovation that aligns with strategic business objectives.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section4\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw -
