Tag: kanban

For a while now I’m looking for ways to implement kanban in my workflows.
I do see the benefits, and I’m aware that it is not the golden solution for everything.

Requirements:

• I need a visual representation of my WIP (work in progress)
• not too much hassle like, logging on to different websites
• not in public enviroments
• direct accesible from my tooling (a.k.a. business laptop)
• Intergration with task functions already available in my tooling (a.k.a. outlook tasks)

So I did a google on outlook and kanban. And after some searching I found this site. Which looks like a nice solution, using my outlook software etc…
So I tried to implement it.

And had one problem…. For security reasons the functionality to add a home page to an outlook folder has been disabled. And I understand it. But still wanted to see how this free solution would work.

So I found a site about enabling the home page function again. This site
The first option didn’t work for me, but adding the key  “EnableRoamingFolderHomepages”=dword:00000001 to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Security]  was the magic I needed.

For now this solution will do. Using familiar software to get accustomed with using kanban.
