Collaboration

Cross-Team Collaboration

Work beyond departmental boundaries

KanBo enables secure collaboration across teams, subsidiaries, and even external partners — while maintaining control over permissions and access.

Collaboration models

Collaboration Type	Description	Use Case
Shared Spaces	Allow users from multiple Workspaces or organizations	Joint ventures, external audits, or vendor management
Mirror Cards	Display the same Card in multiple Spaces	Tasks affecting multiple departments
Visitors	Invite external participants with limited access	Consultants, customers, or partners

Example

A manufacturing company works with a supplier on quality improvement:

• A Shared Space is created named Supplier Collaboration Portal.
• The supplier is invited as a Visitor, with access to view and comment on Cards relevant to them.
• Mirror Cards connect internal quality issues with external supplier actions.
