Here's how you can take advantage of KanBo's features for effective project management:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1. Set up a Workspace for Your Estimation Projects<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Purpose: To have a dedicated area where all estimation-related projects are managed.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Why: Creating a workspace specifically for estimation projects keeps them organized and separates them from other unrelated work within the organization. This increases focus and enables better access control.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2. Establish Spaces for Each Major Project Segment or Initiative<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Purpose: To break down the project into manageable pieces and assign estimators to each section.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Why: NEOM project estimation can be vast and complicated. By segmenting it into spaces (e.g., infrastructure, residential, commercial), you can control the workflow for each domain, making it easier to track progress and manage resources.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3. Use Cards to Represent Estimation Tasks and Milestones<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Purpose: To outline each task required for project estimation, along with deadlines and involved personnel.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Why: Cards allow for detailed information to be added, such as due dates and responsible estimators, providing transparency and a quick overview of every task's status. This is crucial for keeping to the schedule and ensuring accountability.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4. Utilize Card Relations to Define Dependencies<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Purpose: To arrange tasks in a logical order and highlight how different tasks depend on each other.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   - Why: In estimation, certain calculations or data collection tasks must precede others.
