Especially on boards with lots of cards, the card view (Kanban) for all the cards does not always work out the best. That is why we are working now on the List view to see all the cards and work through them. List views will also have the option to show parent / child hierarchies.
In progress
The list of features that we are implementing into the next version of Gantt is long. Here some highlights: Show items in Gantt grouped by any possible dimension like list, user, label, etc., show/hide unscheduled items, use weekends ON/OFF, different strategies for reschedule dependencies, add or remove columns from the grid on the left and more. For the current version of Gantt please read the following manual – link.
In progress
Create documents directly inside of cards or create a corporate repository of document templates for your enterprise and combine selected document templates with document groups in card templates so next time when someone wants to create a document in a card she does not have to start from scratch or spend time looking for that one document template, it will be just a click away.
In progress
Personalize your boards with stunning background images.
In progress
Use Microsoft PowerBI to analyze data from KanBo or any other system in any way you require. Later embed the PowerBI Workspaces or Reports in KanBo Page Views or in Microsoft Teams or SharePoint. This feature does not require the paid version of PowerBI – you can use the PowerBI (free) license.
In progress
This feature gives you more control over what template version can be used by your organization so people don’t create Boards of unfinished/not yet released Board Templates.
In planning
Using the official Notification Web API we will be able to integrate KanBo notifications into any native operating system notification stream, i.e. on Windows 10 or MacOS, but also on Android and iOS devices.
In planning

To comply with Microsoft requirements for their Cloud we have invested a lot to comply. Now when you are installing KanBo on your Microsoft 365 environment you register KanBo as an Azure Active Directory App and KanBo accesses the Cloud resources only through the Graph API. For more details please refer to this article.
Beside the usual Microsoft Teams App features like Tabs, Bot or Message Extensions, KanBo provides a deep integration with the Microsoft 365 Groups concept allowing a Board to become an integral part of the whole Team concept within Microsoft Teams. That includes using the same permissions and the same documents as well as supporting public and private channels concepts within KanBo. See more here.
Now in KanBo you can create views to see cards in different ways. You can create as many views as you and your team need. For a better understanding you can give views custom names to indicate what purpose they serve. There are 3 types of Card Views and 2 types of Page Views in this version of KanBo. Watch this video to see how it works.
You are able to write a comment / message in a card and additionally mark it for sending to an Email recipient. In combination with a public Email address of a card you are able to communicate with external users as they will reply to the card directly.
KanBo supports all touch gestures on all touch enabled devices now. Not only on mobile phones but also on tablets or big LCD screens like Microsoft Surface Hubs or Samsung Flips. See it in action in this video.
The new search experience allows you to search anything now in KanBo. Cards, Comments, Documents, etc. also utilizing a huge variety of search refiners that make the search experience very effective. The relevancy sorting uses sophisticated algorithms to present to you the most important information regarding your current working context. See the search in action in this video.
Microsoft is not providing any possibility to access information in Microsoft Teams or any other Microsoft-365-Group controlled App inside the Office 365 ecosystem. We thought we will provide it in KanBo. Feel free to invite people from your tenant or externals to KanBo Boards as Visitors. They will not be able to change anything – it is read only for them! Read more about it here.
With this feature you are be able to see all date related conflicts between cards that have relations like next-previous and parent-child. The new algorithms can detect and visualize these conflicts across Boards and with any depth of a recursive relation. Watch this video to see it in action.
Invite external users to participate in your board directly from KanBo by entering their email address. KanBo uses the Microsoft Guest infrastructure to invite external users. See more here.
Once you reach the limits of Microsoft Planner you can easily continue in KanBo. Since a KanBo Board belongs to the same Microsoft Team (Microsoft 365 Group) you can import all cards incl. all details from Microsoft Planner even documents and comments. In seconds you can continue in KanBo, even the user permission will be the same and you can also add a Teams KanBo Tab and remove the Planner Tab. See more here.
When attaching to an existing card all values of that card are visible in Microsoft Outlook now. When creating a new card out of an Email in Outlook now you can additionally select Card Templates and set Statuses right from Outlook. See new features of that version in this video.
