Task management

Task management is essential for any kind of project management. However it is interesting that certain solutions, like Claromentis, do allow users to create a project with no tasks - so that they can share ideas and documents before defining actual tasks.

We would regard the provision of a Gantt chart to be a minimum requirement. Our thoughts on critical task management functionality are :

• Gantt Chart with drag and drop
• Major and sub tasks
• Milestones
• Task dependencies
• Multiple types of task - ( Fixed duration, Fixed units and Fixed work )
• Skills required for a task can be specified
• Key dates can be flagged during a task duration.
• Integration with Resource Allocation ( See separate page )
• Task traffic lights and forecast status
• Task reporting
• Task Progress
• Task filtering
• Task Notes
• Configurable metadata for tasks which can vary from programme to programme
