Visualize and Co-operate on Projects and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook
Kanban is a Japanese word for “visual card”, and it refers to a way of visualizing work, to make it flow and reduce waste of time.
When you get a visual picture of the work process, they can quickly reveal bottlenecks and blockers. Less time is spent on trying to sort out how projects are coming along because everything is visible on the kanban board.
Kanban Task Manager Single by BizSolution365 can be used to keep track of both private tasks and business tasks. The subscription allows one installation.
Kanban Task Manager Single is intended for one user and one PC. The add-in gives a Kanban Board in Outlook where you can drag and drop the tasks between phases as your work proceeds and create new tasks directly from the Kanban Board. Tag the tasks with category and phase. You can also use swim lanes and create a custom tag for categorization. The tags are selected from dropdowns in the tasks and visible on the kanban board. They are also used in the Kanban Task Manager Search and Filter features and in Excel reports.
