Microsoft SharePoint empower organizations across industries for its digital collaborative workspace, intranet solutions, and apps.

Often SharePoint is utilized across departments to create custom sites and portals for sharing, creating, and managing files and tasks. SharePoint, by default, provides Task management utility called Task List, where Project Managers can create and manage tasks and delegate it to their team members.
Project Managers are continuously working on achieving strict timelines, accommodating all agile requirements of Clients to deliver a required solution within given timeframe. Many times, the same Project manager will be a shared resource amongst multiple projects. However, with an increase in the number of projects and tasks, the task management, skill dependencies, and transparency becomes a concern, and often tough to visualize all at once in SharePoint Infrastructure. SharePoint Kanban App helps to overcome this challenge in very subtle and simple way.
