Task Management in Ajax Workspace Collaboration
June 27th, 2007 — AdamI believe task management play a very important role in project management and online collaboration. Task management can be very simple such as your personal task which reminds you do something. It also can be very complex which involves multiple parties, getting approval from someone, running parallel, etc. Each type of task management is targeting to different type of user group. Hence, the task management under ajaxworkspace.com (which explained in online collaboration for teamwork and project management) is targeting to intermediate user such as freelancer and small-midsized project.
Task management allows user organize task including simple task, checked task and approval task among your team members by project or organization.
I got chance to work in different type of companies in my working life. Basically it can be categorized in to 2 types; either project base or product base. However, I found that most of the project or product development is not being managed well. You can see someone is doing nothing all the time and someone is busy like hell. Manager or top management never knows exactly what the progress is. We do not really have a system to manage, assign task to worker, and keep track the progress of each individual’s task. We always end up with sending, replying email in order to communicate, and sharing files among team members. It was really a terrible experience.
