Four team task management tools

There are almost as many options available to manage tasks among your teams as there are types of teams! There is no one magic solution, and the tools are only effective if they match your team and your process.

Here are four options to explore that could help you manage your tasks in your teams.

Outlook has a robust task functionality allowing you to set-up folders, assign tasks and due dates to your colleagues, and monitor their progress. Best of all - most CCI staff has access to all the features.

Asana is a robust project management site allowing you to create teams, assign tasks, create subtasks, monitor progress, and even chat about the tasks within the website. It has many additional features for your team. (free and paid versions)

Trello is a website for teams who are more visual. It allows you to create buckets to organize tasks into - this could be as simple as moving tasks from Assigned, In progress, to Done, or could be used creatively like putting tasks into buckets for managing events (To-do, To purchase, To print). You can also assign tasks to team members. (free and paid versions)
Todoist is a very simple website allowing for team to-dos and due dates. It is a good option if you aren't looking for bells and whistles. (free and paid versions)

To change a default software, just open your Windows menu in the bottom left hand corner of your screen. Then click on the gear icon to open Settings. Go to "Apps" and then "Default Apps".
