Monday:

To start the week, I opened up KanBo and checked my workspaces to see what tasks I had in store for the day. Within each workspace, I had different card categories, such as “to-do,” “in progress,” and “completed,” which made it easy to visualize my workflow and stay on track. I spent some time checking my notifications and comments on cards from my team members and made sure to respond and update my own tasks as necessary.

Tuesday:

Today I used KanBo’s Gantt Chart feature to plot out a new project timeline for a drivetrain design that I was leading. I was able to easily create and organize tasks, assign team members, set deadlines, and visualize everything in a clear and concise manner. This made it much easier to communicate with team members and stakeholders, and keep everyone on the same page.

Wednesday:

Mid-week, I had a complex issue come up that required input from several different teams within our organization. I created a new space for the issue in KanBo, invited the relevant team members, and began a discussion thread within the space. This allowed everyone to share their thoughts, collaborate, and work towards a solution in a central location.

Thursday:

Today I used KanBo’s Table View feature to create a detailed list of parts and materials needed for an upcoming project. It was easy to sort and filter the list by different criteria, and I could quickly see what we needed to order and when. I also made sure to attach relevant documents to each part to avoid confusion down the line.

Friday:

To end the week, I used KanBo’s dashboard and report features to generate an overview of my team’s progress for the week. I was able to quickly see what tasks had been completed, what was in progress, and what still needed attention. This helped me to make informed decisions and assign tasks for the upcoming week. Overall, using KanBo as a drivetrain design senior engineer in the automotive industry made my work more organized, streamlined, and collaborative.
