Use Case: Collaborating on Automotive Product Development with KanBo

Imagine you’re working on a project to develop more environmentally compatible vehicles. Using KanBo, you can easily collaborate with your team members to make sure that the project is on track, and everyone is working towards a common goal.

You start by creating a KanBo Space for the project, where you can organize all the relevant information and assign tasks to your team. Within the Space, you create KanBo Cards for each component of the project – from the vehicle design to the manufacturing process.

On the card for the vehicle design, you add a Note detailing the product requirements, and attach documents that your team members can reference. You also assign team members to the card, so they know who’s responsible for what.

One team member notices a potential issue with the manufacturing process and mentions it in a Comment on the appropriate card. They tag you and other team members in the Comment, so everyone sees the notification and can respond.

Using your Microsoft Office skills, you add a Comment to the thread, suggesting a possible solution to the manufacturing issue based on your prior experience. The team member who originally raised the issue responds positively, and you finalize your plan through a chat.

Thanks to KanBo’s user-friendly interface, you can collaborate effectively, with comments being the ideal tool for short and focused conversations. With customizable notifications and a presence indicator enabling you to see who’s online, you can stay in touch with your team members in real time. Also, you can be aware of the important moments, responded to, or marked and revisited later.

With KanBo, you’re always ready to solve issues with a structured, intuitive, and streamlined approach that maximizes productivity.
