Visual Workflow Applications
Practice Management Track (Introductory)
Thursday, March 27, 2014, 2:00pm-3:00pm

Join us for an overview of visual workflow methods and technologies for managing paper and electronic information. This session provides an overview of the cloud-based application "Trello" and its ability to integrate with Google Docs and other applications. Privacy/security considerations for using cloud-based applications are also discussed. The ideas discussed are based on the visual productivity system originally designed by Toyota for just-in-time manufacturing, known as "Kanban" (Japanese for "signboard").
