But a lot more is needed than just creating tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Each task should have its own page or control panel for managing and viewing everything related to a task. This way it is possible to view and changes all elements of a task, like who the task is assigned to, if there are dependencies and if any files are attached to the task which is important to the implementation of the task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">After tasks, subtasks\u00a0are\u00a0absolutely required\u00a0for\u00a0breaking down large tasks into smaller and more manageable subtasks and keep doing this until all resulting tasks are small and well understood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/benefits-of-work-breakdown-structure\/\">work breakdown structure<\/a> and heavily used in industrial, manufacturing and large defense projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Work breakdown structure creates what is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/waterfall-project-management-tutorial\/\">waterfall<\/a> effect which makes it much easier to view and understand the project&#8217;s complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Milestones are another must-have feature for any good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/introduction-task-management-tutorial\/\">task management application<\/a>. Milestones are events in times. For example, a software project could have a milestone as the end of final code integration. This signifies when all modules are integrated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Start date, end date, and duration will establish how long the task will take to finish. This is called Planned time. Notice the planned time is what we estimate how long a task will take, the actual time is the time it takes for the team to finish it in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is impossible to do plan tasks correctly without the introduction of dependencies in task management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If a task should start only when another task is finished, there is no way to manage this process without dependency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Some project management applications fake what dependency means. They let a task which is dependent on other tasks start, regardless of the status of those tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So these applications (Like Asana, Basecamp or many others) lets you start task B even when Task B is dependent on task A which is still not finished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Task management software should enforce the dependency rules. In the above case when the user tries to start Task B, he\/she get a warning that since task A still open, the work on task B can&#8217;t get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Gantt charts\u00a0make it possible to view tasks, subtasks, and milestones graphically on one page. Gantt also perfectly shows the relationship of tasks to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This is a great aid for reviewing and tracking the status of all tasks\u00a0in the project in one uniform graphical view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The ability to add Comments\u00a0inside the task and subtask control panel enables the team to collaborate and discuss issues present in the project related to a given task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Without comments, it is very hard to collaborate on issues and lack of commenting capability makes the application useless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The multi assignment is another feature needed when multiple people need to work together on\u00a0a given task. Imagin if moving a piano to top floor of a building is assigned just to one person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Assigning this task to two or more people makes a lot more sense than just one person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is also important to be able to show if\u00a0the person working on a task is assigned to this task fulltime or only parttime. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This makes task&#8217;s due date estimation accurate and the correct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/resource-loading-page-new-in-binfire\/\">resource loading<\/a>\u00a0is calculated in the project itself and across all projects in the user&#8217;s portfolio.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Some tasks have higher priority over other tasks and are more urgent. A good task manager provides the ability to show the importance of each task in the hierarchy of all tasks in the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is a common practice to rank tasks from 1 to 5 with 5 the highest priority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Task status helps to show where in the development cycle a given task stands.\u00a0Is the work on a task has stated?\u00a0Is the task completed? Or what percentage of the task duration remains to be done to complete the task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Task follow is another good feature for collaboration. It lets anyone interested\u00a0in the outcome of a task to follow it and get email or desktop notifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Often times there are documents associated with a task, like the UI design, Specification or budget associated with that task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is important to be able to attach a file to a task and keep all versions of the file in the system. This way all documents related to a task are held with the task itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Over the past two years, we have written many articles\u00a0about task management software.
