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Instead of holding weekly status meetings to find out what is in progress, maintaining a project spreadsheet that is out of date the moment it is saved, or managing blockers through email threads, project teams get a live task board that shows exactly where every piece of work stands —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 Kanban-style project task board where teams can create tasks, assign owners, set deadlines, move tasks across stages, track blockers, add comments, and view project progress.
A single project task board that helps your business:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A full view of each task — including description, owner, due date, priority, label, comment thread, attachment log, and complete activity history.
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.
A panel showing task counts by stage, percentage complete, number of overdue tasks, and number of active blockers — for a quick project health assessment.
A consolidated view of all tasks assigned to the logged-in user across all projects — sorted by due date with overdue items highlighted.
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.
A cross-project summary of tasks that are past their due date or currently flagged as blocked — for project management escalation and workload review.
A structured summary of completed tasks, delivery dates, and any overdue closure — available for project retrospectives and stakeholder reporting.
A project is created with a name, description, and defined Kanban stages. Team members are added with their role and access level.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Completed tasks are moved to the review or done column. The project summary updates automatically to reflect the current completion rate.
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.
The solution ensures consistent task management and prevents common project delivery failures.
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.
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.
Blockers that remain unresolved for a configurable number of days trigger an escalation notification to the project manager — preventing tasks from stalling silently.
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.
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.
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.
Maintains the project board, monitors progress and blockers, reassigns stalled tasks, and uses the progress summary and reports to update stakeholders accurately.
Manages their assigned tasks, updates stages as work progresses, flags blockers, adds comments, and views their personal task list across all projects.
Reviews progress summaries for projects within their function, monitors overdue tasks and blockers, and uses project reports for team performance and resource planning.
Uses the board to manage sprint or release tasks, track feature delivery, and maintain a clear and shared view of what is in progress across the team.
Manages operational projects and process improvement initiatives using a structured board that gives all stakeholders visibility of task status and completion.
Reviews project progress summaries, overdue and blocker reports, and completion rates to monitor delivery performance and identify projects requiring attention.
