MOWI – The Agile Kanban Board in Salesforce
Agile methods like Kanban help teams manage projects with transparency, flexibility, and efficiency. However, many organizations struggle with integrating Kanban into their existing systems. This is where MOWI comes in.
MOWI is a lightweight Salesforce application that brings Kanban boards directly into the Business Application Platform. Built around the three objects Mission, Objective, and Work Item, MOWI makes project and task management in Salesforce simple, structured, and intuitive.
Why MOWI?
- Fully integrated into Salesforce – no additional tools required.
- Improved transparency – all team members can see progress and responsibilities at a glance.
- Flexible collaboration – goals, tasks, and subtasks can be managed in a Kanban board with simple drag and drop.
How MOWI Works
Mission – the bigger picture
A Mission groups together multiple Objectives and serves as the overarching project goal. This makes it easy to organize even complex initiatives.
Example: A “Product Launch” mission that includes several objectives such as marketing, development, and sales preparation.
Objective – the core element
Objectives are the main tasks or user stories, comparable to cards on a Kanban board. Each Objective contains detailed information and can also be linked to Follow-up Objectives for more complex scenarios.
Example: “Create marketing campaign” as an objective, linked to multiple work items such as landing page design or content creation.
Work Item – the detailed steps
Work Items are the subtasks of an objective. They provide a more granular view of progress and move through phases such as Open, In Progress, and Closed.
Example: “Design landing page” as a work item within the “Create marketing campaign” objective.
The Kanban View in Salesforce
In the Kanban View, all objectives are displayed in columns such as Active, Blocked, Testing, or Done. Users can drag and drop objectives across columns as work progresses.
The result: clear visibility, better communication within the team, and improved productivity.
