Virto SharePoint Kanban Board for Office 365 is a convenient scrum board to visualize and manage SharePoint and Microsoft Teams tasks. The app displays any SharePoint task list as a Kanban/Scrum Board, where Kanban cards are divided into columns, usually depending on the status and showing the tasks to be done.
A visual view of the business process is intended to optimize task management, allowing users to spend less time on organization and task assignments.
The app is also available for SharePoint modern sites.
Visualize your Sharepoint tasks in colorful and convenient scrum boards with the Virto Kanban Board App. Each SharePoint list item is displayed as a highly customizable kanban card, and horizontal and vertical lines 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 SharePoint and task lists on a single Kanban board. It’s also possible to display a SharePoint library, presenting documents as kanban cards.
You can use any choice type field for a set of swimlanes for a Kanban board. 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 changed due date.
The people involved in a task can discuss Kanban comments and 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 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 shown on cards, attach or display images, add files attachments. You can even display the card title with different options: indicating from 1 to 3 fields as the card name. And you can edit all these fields right on a card!
Multiple scrum features are available within this Kanban Board, such as setting WIP limits or the maximum number of tasks displayed in a column. Story points are another agile metric to help you estimate the task difficulty level.
You can also aggregate data for a column with the Count feature (Sum or Average), which can be used if a list has a number field (i.e., “Hours” 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 assigned tasks.
With the Task Watchers feature, you may create a user list, which will 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 Teams to manage tasks in Kanban.
The Kanban boards in Teams inherit user permissions from SharePoint and are invisible for external users in Teams.
