Overview

Plan your projects more effectively, starting with KanBo space templates. Create new spaces based on existing and proven ones. Space templates can be customized to meet the specific needs of a team or project, and obviously can save time and effort when creating spaces.

Space template scheme

Allow project teams to leverage organizational knowledge. Transform spaces into reusable templates for future projects. Use templates like Event to create spaces that relate to event projects.

Space template scheme 1

Example: Space templates such as Event can be used to create new spaces: Environmental Film FestivalCleaning Up the World, and Sustainable Fashion Show.

Open templates as you would standard spaces. Prepare elements such as card statuses, custom fields, and, of course, cards.

Example: Space templates are marked with blue stripes.

You can set space dates in your space template, as well as card dates, and then apply it to spaces created based on that template, with possible date shifts.
