Collaborative Work Management (CWM) is a central hub for team members to plan, manage, visualize, and collaborate on work.
Use personal spaces to plan your own work or shared spaces to collaborate on work with team members. Within spaces, create boards to manage tasks for your teams. Create custom columns and custom work types to be able to manage any type of work. View tasks in List, Gantt, or Kanban to support flexible types of workflow. Autonomously configure columns, work types, and access to your spaces without support from a system administrator.
Boost efficiency by creating automations to reduce manual task updates and alert team members when changes are made to tasks or important dates arrive.
Create docs to manage documentation or content for your work. See who is online and collaborate in real time to create docs.
Connect boards to Strategic Planning Workspace for prioritization, roadmap, and goals.
Manage and visualize multiple work types, such as incidents, changes, and user stories, within a single CWM board. Users can add custom fields and automations to tailor workflow
