Use Solutions Business Manager's (SBM) centralized workspace to view and track your own work items as well as collaborate with team members. Uniquely, SBM aggregates application views to optimize enterprise-wide reporting and insight.
Visualize and monitor the flow of work items in a team environment to simplify team communication.
