Kanban and SharePoint Plans for 2018

As usual at the beginning of a new year, I want to inform about our plans and expectations for the coming twelve months. Much of what we anticipate includes a kanban board, because products with this possibility to visualize and manage work has become very popular. We will of course also continue developing for SharePoint.

Product updates
Most important for all subscribers is of course that we will continue enhancing the kalmstrom.com Outlook and SharePoint products and make sure that they make use of all the new features that Microsoft develops. Among the most important are:Kanban TaskManager for SharePoint icon
Custom solutions
Some of our subscribers also trust their custom development projects to us. During 2017 we have had such commissions going on all the time, and we also have a few small ones right now. We hope to get more in 2018, because those kind of projects have been mutually beneficial in the past. They of course provide business value for our customers, but the kalmstrom.com team is also learning a lot from them.

New products
In 2018 we plan to release several new products that are currently in development:
  • Pivot Explorer iconPivot Explorer: works as Excel pivot tables and charts, but you can use this SharePoint add-in directly inside SharePoint Online lists.
  • Kanban E-mail Manager iconKanban Email Manager: an Outlook add-in that gives a kanban view of the emails with drag and drop, e-mail statuses and project tagging.
  • Document Tagger iconDocument Tagger: analyzes and adds keywords to SharePoint library documents and presentations – but not until you have had a chance to review the suggestions and discard the ones you don't want.
  • Site Manager: creates SharePoint site collections for projects or similar.
When those products are up to our quality requirements, we will document and release them as soon as possible.

More colleagues
We are always looking for new, creative team members, and we hope to find some really inventive people this year. What we need is not mainly experience. As our business area develops rapidly, it is crucial to have a capacity to learn quickly and to find good solutions to the problems that inevitably will arise.

The whole team is looking forward to meet new customers and colleagues and to have an eventful and prosperous 2018. I wish all blog readers the same!
