Virto SharePoint Kanban Board for Office 365 is a convenient scrum board to visualize and manage tasks in SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. The component displays any SharePoint task list as a Kanban/Scrum Board, where Kanban cards are divided into columns usually depending on the status, and show the tasks to be done. A visual view of the business process is intended for optimization of task management: less time is spent on organization and task assignment. The app is also available for SharePoint modern sites.
The Virto Kanban Board App visualizes SharePoint tasks on colorful and convenient scrum boards. Each SharePoint list item is displayed as a highly customizable kanban card. Horizontal and vertical lanes represent the steps of a project.
The Kanban Board app for SharePoint Online allows you to quickly create and adjust new boards in minutes with a few simple steps.
You can manage tasks from any SharePoint and task lists on a single Kanban board. It’s also possible to display a SharePoint library, where documents are presented as kanban cards.
Any choice type field can be used for a set of swimlanes for a Kanban board. You can quickly move tasks between swimlanes or change a swimlane field right on the board.
It’s so convenient to have one space for your teamwork with the flexible notifications system of Virto Kanban! These email notifications allow your team to track almost any changes on board. For example, when a task was moved to the next stage or the due date was changed.
The people involved in a task can discuss in kanban comments and also get notifications about newly added responses.
If you enable subtasks for your board, you can easily split complex tasks into steps.
You can color-code kanban cards according to custom conditions (such as users, project, urgency, and any other conditions). It’s possible to specify body color, color marker, and even add labels (tags) on cards.
This agile kanban board solution allows users to select fields to be displayed on cards, attach or display images, add files attachments, even the card title may be displayed with different options: you can show from 1 to 3 fields as card name. And you can edit all these fields right on a card!
You can apply scrum features such as WIP-limits, set limits for maximum tasks displayed in a column, use points (story points) which are an agile metric used to estimate the difficulty level of a task. You can also aggregate data for a column with the Count option (Sum or Average). The count feature can be used if a list has a “Hours” field (a number field) and you need to count the time required to close all tasks.
With Kanban Board App for Office 365, you can configure permissions, related to SharePoint task management. A SharePoint administrator can assign permissions to edit all the project tasks to certain users or user groups. When giving Read-only permissions to SharePoint users, you allow them to manage only the tasks they are assigned to.
With the Task Watchers feature, you may create a user list, which is going to receive email notifications about any changes to the task, even if they are not the assigners.
You can also display a kanban board in a statistic chart view. Use designed charts to analyze the work of your team — status and members charts, completion chart, and burndown.
If you have a customized Virto Kanban board in your SharePoint, you can add Kanban in Teams as a separate tab. This way, you don’t need to switch between your SharePoint site and a Teams to manage tasks in Kanban.
The Kanban boards in Teams inherit user permissions from SharePoint and are invisible for external users in Teams.
