Tasks

This section is designed to manage project collaboration. When you add tasks to a project, they become available to all project participants. The project team will see a stage of each task, assignees and the deadline.

Tasks have several views and can be displayed as:

• cards on the Kanban board.
• task list.
• the lists sorted by an assignee.
• Gantt chart.

Here you can switch the task list view:

Task Board

The task board is one of the most useful tools for planning and tracking the planned and completed project tasks. All tasks on the board are presented as cards.

You can:

• move task cards between stages and see what has been already completed or what is to be done;
• move the highest priority tasks to the top—this will help you to identify which ones need to be performed first.

Please note: When transferring a task to the In progress column, the time tracker does not start automatically, because the task can be performed in several steps. To start the timer, you need to click the Start button in the sidebar. At the stage Done, there are tasks completed, but not accepted by the task owner. Only the task owner can transfer these tasks to the Completed tasks column after checking them.

On the board, you can instantly add a task, immediately specifying the description and the person responsible:

The Assignee filter hides the tasks that certain employees do not have to deal with (they are not an owner, or responsible).

In each task card, the important information is displayed:

• priority, as a colored arrow on the task ticket:

turquoise—low priority;

no arrow—medium;

red—high.

• planned and actual time, which makes it easy to control time costs and notice deviations in time;
• deadline date. A date on the card notifies about an overdue date;
• an owner and an assignee.

The total time spent on a project by an employee can be viewed in the task list table.

Task Grouping by the Project Stages

In the task board, you can enable grouping of the tasks by stages of the project. There are several options for grouping tasks:

• for all stages of the project, even if not all stages have tasks;

• only for those stages that have tasks;

• without grouping.

You can switch the grouping mode by clicking the Settings button on the project task board.

Select "Project Stage" to enable task grouping. If you need to see all the stages of the project, including those that do not have any tasks, check the box "Show empty sections".

Select "Do not group" if you do not plan to use the grouping.
