Hierarchy
KanBo introduces a hierarchy of workspaces, spaces, and cards, which serve as the building blocks of your well-organized enterprise.

At the topmost level, we have workspaces. They are like containers that hold different areas of work within your organization, like teams or clients. They contain spaces, where the real action happens, because spaces are filled with cards, which represent tasks.

So, let’s dive into spaces and explore the heart of the KanBo hierarchy – cards.
Cards
All the work is recorded on cards. For clear distribution of responsibilities within your team, cards can be assigned to specific users.

Let’s see what card elements we can find inside of them.
Here you can add or create documents, and make card notes. You can also add files from your device, like images or video. You decide how to arrange the card content.

Use card features to collaborate with other users in a real-time. Work together and discuss to make the card a living document.
Spaces
Let’s go back to spaces and see the cards from another perspective. Every card has a card status that informs about the work progress. Try different card grouping ways to see the workflow, and actually, you can group cards by anything that comes into your mind.

If you need a wider perspective, take advantage of space possibilities. Use different space views for highlighting card relations, time dependencies, or list detailed information in the form of a table.
