Kanban is all about Visual Management.  Human beings are visual creatures.

Visual Management allows teams to see work in progress and understand complex information like processes, task relationships and risks.

With the Kanban Display you can:

• Visually see the work in progress (Project Statuses etc)

• Instantly understand if there are issues

• Improve Communication between yourself and others as everyone is looking at the same thing

Change from the standard List View to the Kanban view; which shows a pictorial representation of the view without having to run a report. 

• Select the List View E.g. Partner Accounts
• Change ‘Display As’ to Kanban 

• Update the Kanban settings to ‘Summarize by’ and ‘Group By’ fields you want to show. E.g. Men’s Players and Region

• Add a new chart; again add in the Aggregate Field & Group and decide on the display format- Donut, Horizontal Bar or Vertical Bar.
