Overview

All activities that happen in KanBo are recorded in the form of the activity stream, but you decide which ones you want to be notified about. Thanks to the system of following individual cards, you can select what interests you at the moment and reject what is irrelevant to your workflow. 

By following a card, you will receive instant notifications of all card activities. This solution enables synchronous communication between users.
