Let's look at tools that allow you to visually present goals and objectives.
Mind map
Also called a mental map or mindmap, it is restaurants email list used to display the decomposition stages as a tree diagram during the visualization process.
You can create mind maps yourself, for example, on a regular sheet of paper, a marker board, or using special applications.
Gantt chart
This tool is a schedule that includes tasks, their order of execution, and deadlines. Individual tasks are shown as segments along a time axis. The start and end of a segment indicate when the task should be started and completed. This ensures control over resources and the overall progress of work.
Kanban boards
Here, on the workspace (board), columns of cards are placed, each of which corresponds to a specific task. With the help of columns, tasks are divided into categories, such as "In queue", "In progress", "Under approval", "Release". As the set goals are completed, the card is moved from one column to another.
A Kanban board can be either physical or virtual; in the second case, it is created using special services.
