SoftExpert Kanban: initiative and sub-activity management

SoftExpert is constantly improving its products by incorporating new functions, making the solutions more robust and easier to use. In this respect, SoftExpert Kanban is full of new features.

Initiative Management with SoftExpert Kanban

To facilitate the management of large-scale activities, from version 2.1.7 onwards, the concept of Initiatives is developed in the system. This improvement consists in presenting all the activities linked to an objective in a centralized manner, whether common or other initiatives.

In addition to providing a macro view, SoftExpert Kanban allows you to create a relationship with activities in different Workspaces. In this way, management can understand the dependencies between teams, as well as how far the initiative has progressed and what is still needed before delivery.

With this new feature, the manager has access to a differentiated view of initiatives from the Backlog, with the option of applying quick filters to plan the pending activities. Gantt chart visualization also makes grouping in the initiatives possible, giving the manager an understanding of the hierarchy of activities.

Sub-activities in SoftExpert Kanban

Another new feature in Kanban version 2.1.7 is the ability to create sub-activities, allowing you to break down an activity into smaller tasks, including having different people responsible for each record. The system also allows the user to define types of sub-activities in Workspace, including defining the flow, which need not be the same as the main activity.

In addition, when viewing the board, these activities are visible to the team with a distinct look and grouped according to their parent activity, allowing you to quickly understand their relationships.

Drawer

Aimed at making the user experience even better, you can now edit activity data with a drawer. This way, the user can view the board while editing the record, improving the ergonomics of the component.
