Kanban Task Manager

visualize and co-operate on projects and tasks in SharePoint

Kanban Task Manager for SharePoint iconKanban Task Manager visualizes tasks and projects on a kanban board in SharePoint. When managers and team members get such a 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 board.

When you open Kanban Task Manager in SharePoint, you can see the workgroup's different tasks visualized as color coded cards on a kanban board. New tasks are created with a click directly from the board, and the tasks can be dragged between the board's phases (and lanes) as the work proceeds.

Kanban Task Manager uses as much standard SharePoint features as possible, so it is easy to understand and use. Tasks for multiple projects can be displayed on one kanban board.

Kanban Task Manager comes in three editions: Client-side web part, Sandboxed Solution and PowerShell script. (In the demo below, an add-in edition is mentioned. We have stopped developing that edition, as Microsoft has decided to retire add-ins.)

The editions have the same features and version number, but they are installed in different ways. All editions are included in the subscription, and they can be used and combined freely within the subscribing organization.
