Use Case: Management of 5 Accessory Marketing Planners (Model Base) with KanBo

Imagine you’re the Assistant Manager of Auto Accessory Marketing and you’re responsible for coordinating the work of five different planners in charge of creating marketing plans for new models. With KanBo, managing these planners and ensuring on-time launch marketing support becomes easy and straightforward.

First, you can create a workspace for the model launch project and invite the five planners to join as members. Within the workspace, you can set up a board for each model, and within each board, you can create cards for specific marketing tasks, such as creating brochures, designing accessories, or planning local events.

KanBo’s project management functionality helps you to stay on top of the tasks delegated to each planner. You can assign specific tasks to a planner, set deadlines, and track their progress in real-time. You can also set up card blockers to prevent the planners from progressing without first completing the required tasks.

KanBo’s collaboration features make it easy for planners to work together, even if they are in different departments or locations. They can add comments to cards, share ideas, attach files, and track progress in real-time. The board chat feature allows them to communicate about specific tasks without creating clutter in their email inbox.

KanBo’s smart factory operations features allow you to align the marketing plan with the production process to ensure the on-time launch of the new models. You can use real-time data analytics to optimize your operations and reduce waste. With KanBo’s sales forecasting and business development setting, you can align your accessories’ sales and promotion programs to achieve your PST FY sales target.

Finally, you can use KanBo’s reporting functionality to provide accessory reporting to the field and management on a monthly basis and support business requests. You can also present your planning and implementation at SED evaluations and support monthly sales results for executive business evaluation through PDCA.

Using KanBo Board Chat is simple. You can easily use Microsoft Office skills to engage with team members in real-time. You can write messages, mention specific members, like messages, reply to messages, and sort messages by the newest post or thread. You can also add rich text to your messages, making it easier to communicate complex ideas.

To begin using KanBo Board Chat, simply select the chat button in the board views. Enabling board chat is an option, and the board owner can activate or deactivate it depending on the team’s needs. It’s an effective way to increase collaboration, simplify communication, and enhance team productivity.
