The traditional Kanban board uses cards that tell what and how much should be produced and when it should be done. With such a visual picture of the work process managers can quickly reveal bottlenecks and blockers. Less time is spent on trying to sort out how projects are coming along, because everything is visible on the Kanban board.

Moving the Kanban board into SharePoint gives you everything in the computer, reachable from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. No cards are lost because they fall to the floor or someone takes them away. On top of that the developers of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions have added several useful features:

Drag and drop tasks between different phases of a project.
Filter tasks by priority project or responsible or by custom parameter.
Display of tasks for multiple projects in one Kanban board.

Kanban Task Manager uses as much standard SharePoint features as possible, and therefore it is easy to understand and work with. The user interface is nice and colorful, and as many are already using SharePoint there is no need to learn another system.

Kanban Task Manager works in a SharePoint page that fetches tasks and settings from lists. When a user opens that page he can reach the workgroup's different projects. The project he worked with last time will be open by default, and new projects and tasks can be created with a few simple steps.

Kanban Task Manager for SharePoint may be used with the Outlook version on the same data, if the Outlook version has SharePoint as sharing option.
