Kanban Board for Project Tasks

1. Overview

The Task Kanban Board in Camms.Project will provide you with a convenient way to manage your tasks and update the task progress.

Task Kanban Board is available in the following application areas:

  • Task Planning object (Gantt) in the project.

  • Project Hub > Schedule tab.

  • My Quick Update > My Tasks.

Lists/Columns in the Kanban board represent the status of a task (i.e. Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Deferred, and Ongoing).

Cards represent the tasks in the Gantt. Only child tasks/milestones and standalone tasks/milestones in the Gantt will have a card in the Kanban board.

Tasks are grouped by the parent/summary tasks which they are linked to.

Each card displays the following information on the task:

  • Title.

  • Progress bar – Will display % complete of the task, and the colour of the slider bar will represent the performance of the task.

  • Timeframe (start and end dates).

  • Responsible person.

  • No. of attachments.

2. Navigating to the Kanban Board

You can select the Kanban option in the toggle button in the Task Planning object, Schedule tab in the Project Hub, or in the My Quick Update > My Tasks areas to navigate to the Kanban Board.
