Board is a powerful system for planning that combines various features into a single, user-friendly interface. The system is available on-premises or in the cloud or as a hybrid. It has full scalability with support for read and write of all data models. This enables users to create and run powerful applications using a single platform that has low operating costs.
In contrast to a roadmap that outlines the goals of your team’s strategic plan over months, weeks and quarters, a board shows the tasks your team is working on in the present. The work is shown as cards on the board which can be moved between columns that correspond to their status, e.g. from to be done to to do. The cards on the board are generally ranked according to their priority and the most urgent cards at the top of the column.
The intelligent data federation feature allows you to connect any planning program to Board which includes Excel spreadsheets. This lets you create a single data view for multidimensional analyses and questions that are ad hoc. You can also alter the dimensions in real-time and instantly re-aggregate data. Board’s flexibility is light years ahead of other solutions.
Modern board portals let team members collaborate seamlessly, regardless of where they are and what device they’re using. Agenda items can be easily dragged into draft minutes to aid in meeting preparation. During the meeting votes and approvals can be done securely on the portal with just a click. Agenda items can be converted into a task that can be distributed to participants to allow them to work in between meetings.
