Workboard

The status meeting that cancels itself.

Move Tasks Forward. Track Progress. Finish Projects on Time.

Instead of holding weekly status meetings to find out what is in progress, maintaining a project spreadsheet that is out of date the moment it is saved, or managing blockers through email threads, project teams get a live task board that shows exactly where every piece of work stands — without anyone needing to ask.

A single project task board that helps your business:

Create tasks with titles, descriptions, owners, priorities, and due dates
Organise tasks across Kanban columns from backlog through to done
Move tasks between stages by drag-and-drop or status update
Flag and track blockers that are preventing a task from progressing
Add comments, attachments, and updates to each task to maintain a full activity log
View a project progress summary showing task counts by stage and completion percentage
Filter the board by owner, priority, due date, or label to focus on the right work
Track overdue tasks and blockers across all projects in a consolidated view
What changes

The difference it makes to your business.

From weekly status meetings → to find out what is in progress to a live board that shows it instantly

The task board is the source of truth for project status. Anyone can see what is in backlog, in progress, under review, or done without asking, attending a meeting, or reading a report.

From project spreadsheets updated manually → to a board that updates as work progresses

Tasks are updated by the people doing the work, in real time, as they progress. The project manager always has an accurate picture without consolidating updates from multiple sources.

From blockers mentioned in meetings → to flagged and tracked items with assigned owners

When a task is blocked, the blocker is recorded on the task with a description and a responsible owner. Blockers are visible to the whole team and tracked until they are resolved.

From task conversations in email → to a complete comment thread on every task card

All discussion, decisions, and updates related to a task are captured in the comment section of the task card — giving any team member full context without searching email history.

From no visibility of overall project health → to a live progress summary

The project progress panel shows task counts by stage, percentage complete, overdue tasks, and blocked items — giving the project manager a clear health summary at a glance.

What you get

Everything that brings the outcome to life.

Project Kanban Board

A visual task board showing all tasks organised by stage — with card-level details including owner, priority, due date, and blocker flag visible at a glance.

Task Detail Panel

A full view of each task — including description, owner, due date, priority, label, comment thread, attachment log, and complete activity history.

Blocker Tracker

A dedicated view of all flagged blockers across the project — showing the blocked task, the blocker description, the resolution owner, and the number of days the task has been blocked.

Project Progress Summary

A panel showing task counts by stage, percentage complete, number of overdue tasks, and number of active blockers — for a quick project health assessment.

Personal Task List

A consolidated view of all tasks assigned to the logged-in user across all projects — sorted by due date with overdue items highlighted.

Project Activity Feed

A chronological log of all changes across the project — task creation, stage updates, comments, blocker flags, and assignment changes — giving project managers full visibility of team activity.

Overdue and Blocked Report

A cross-project summary of tasks that are past their due date or currently flagged as blocked — for project management escalation and workload review.

Project Completion Report

A structured summary of completed tasks, delivery dates, and any overdue closure — available for project retrospectives and stakeholder reporting.

How it works

A clear path from need to outcome.

01

Create the Project and Board

A project is created with a name, description, and defined Kanban stages. Team members are added with their role and access level.

02

Add Tasks to the Backlog

Tasks are created in the backlog with a title, description, owner, priority, label, and due date. Larger tasks can be broken into sub-tasks linked to a parent card.

03

Move Tasks Into Progress

As work begins, the task owner moves the task from the backlog into the in-progress column. The stage change is recorded with a timestamp.

04

Flag and Resolve Blockers

If a task cannot progress, the owner flags it as blocked, describes the blocker, and assigns a resolution owner. The blocker is tracked until it is resolved and the task can continue.

05

Comment and Update

Team members add comments, upload files, and record updates directly on the task card. Relevant team members receive notifications for new comments and assignment changes.

06

Review and Complete

Completed tasks are moved to the review or done column. The project summary updates automatically to reflect the current completion rate.

07

Review Progress and Address Issues

The project manager reviews the progress summary, overdue report, and blocker tracker — following up on stalled tasks, reallocating work, and escalating as needed to keep the project on track.

Built-in controls

Confidence in every workflow.

The solution ensures consistent task management and prevents common project delivery failures.

Mandatory Task Owner Requirement

A task cannot be moved out of the backlog without an assigned owner — ensuring every item in progress has a named person accountable for its completion.

Due Date Overdue Alerts

Tasks that pass their due date without reaching the done stage are automatically flagged as overdue. The task owner and project manager receive a notification to prompt action.

Blocker Escalation

Blockers that remain unresolved for a configurable number of days trigger an escalation notification to the project manager — preventing tasks from stalling silently.

Stage Completion Requirement

Tasks cannot be moved to the done stage without completing any configured mandatory fields or checklist items defined for that stage — ensuring completeness is validated before closure.

Comment and History Immutability

Task comments and activity history cannot be deleted or edited after submission — maintaining a reliable and tamper-proof record of all task activity and decisions.

Access Control by Project

Team members only see projects they have been added to. Project-level access is managed by the project owner and can be updated as the team changes.
