visualize and cooperate on projects and tasks in SharePoint
Kanban
Task Manager displays tasks in a SharePoint Tasks
list as color-coded cards. This reveals bottlenecks and
blockers and shows how projects progress.
In the Kanban view, the task cards are grouped
by status phases and in lanes. The lanes can be used
for any parameter.
In the 7 Habits view the task cards are grouped
in four quadrants by importance and urgency in an Eisenhower
matrix style.
The task cards can be dragged and dropped between phases,
lanes and quadrants.
Kanban Task Manager uses as much standard SharePoint
features as possible, so it is easy to understand and use.
New tasks can be created directly from the Kanban Task
Manager views.
