Greetings:

I am writing to highlight the importance of having a dashboard for a mammoth
program like LibreOffice.

Kanban is used to visualize the project status quo. We could call it a
Kanban board, or visualization dashboard, or workflow diagram. The rules for
designing a dashboard in traditional or modern project management methods
are identical.

Ideally, the release date for the guides should be on the product release
date. It includes localization and translation.

I have revised one of my existing projects Kanban boards. The columns
illustrated on the board are fictional. The intention is only to highlight
the importance of using the dashboards and nothing else

While there is value on the right of swim lanes of every phase, we value the
items on the left more. The items on the left of the swim lane indicate the
activities are complete, and on the right are ongoing.

There are various commercial and open-source tools available in the market.
We could also design different dashboards for strategical, tactical, and for
operational purposes.

One can automate the entire process by integrating Calc [enabling macros],
Impress, and Base.

Please feel free to shoot me any questions.

Thank you

-Dev
