Questions & answers
What is a task?
A task is the description an activity that has to be completed within a larger project. Tasks are typically assigned to one or more people who are reponsible for completing the work.
Tasks can be organized with different views depending on the scope and organization of the project, a list or kanban board being some of the most popular options.
What is task management?
Task management is the set of activities that focuses on the creation, day-to-day updating and completion of tasks. The task workflow can be more detailed or time sensitive depending on the project a team is working on.
Why should companies adopt team task management?
Tasks allow teams to work in a more organized way. Teams can keep better track of the status of an activity thanks to strong documentation. Team task management software also minimizes the need for constant meetings or messages for work updates as activity is recorded on an individual task-level.
