New: Kanban Boards Update

Shared Kanban Boards and Real-Time Team Collaboration

It’s here!
Since the release of our agile task management solution in September, the team has been working tirelessly to boost its offering and this week we have been able to release one of its key updates: Shared Kanban Boards and Real-Time Team Collaboration.

The new update offers Business users the chance to collaborate on boards using real-time technology. Teammates of the same subscription can work together on task-cards right inside their inbox; task related emails can also be shared through a collective board without the need of forwarding them on.

But how?
From now on, users can share with team members the rights to add and edit tasks on one of their existing Kanban Boards or create a new shared board.
If you want to share an existing board, you will find a blue share button a the top of your board.

If you want to create a new board, you now have access to fully customizable board templates, they come pre-configured to cater to your teams various needs and processes such as Sales, Marketing and Support.

Once the board is created you can share it with all or selected colleagues using the same blue share button.

Once the board is shared, you are all set to benefit from Real-Time Team Collaboration. All team members who are included in a shared board can now collaborate and monitor tasks without updating delays. Any action taken on a collective board by a teammate is simultaneously applied to everyone’s board.

Teams can now collaborate on tasks seamlessly right inside their inbox. They can all create task cards, prioritize them, complete them, annotate each others emails (once turned into task cards) and comment on existing cards.

This update allows our Business subscribers to collaborate on each other’s emails and tasks without endless conversation threads and with no risk of reply-all incidents.

For our Marketing team for example it means I can collaborate with our PR coordinator, monitor her workload and give priorities to her tasks according to my outreach calendar. She can also ask me for my feedback on conversations with bloggers without forwarding them all to my inbox.

Another team could work together on their support requests by ordering tickets in different columns and annotating them according to who is responsible for which ticket and their priority. Closed tickets could also be monitored by reviewing the “completed task” column.

A sales team could also monitor leads and their conversion journey to make sure no prospective customer falls through the crack.

Gmelius Kanban Boards gives you the collaborative lightweight task management solution you hadn’t realized your inbox could get!
