Task management: the French alternative to Trello
Which project management software should you choose from the growing range on offer? At the heart of the matter: task management, to better organise your schedule and monitor the progress of your projects in real time. The collaborative tools in your management software should enable you to plan a list of tasks, delegate some and assign others, while maintaining fluid contact and cultivating a collaborative spirit with your team. Are you already thinking about integrated messaging? Well done, excellent answer: your view of task management software reflects your desire to work flexibly. You're ready to go through the todo list for professional fulfilment: here we go!
Task 1: Enjoy the intuitive interface
To mark its difference from Trello, one of the best-known project management software packages, Taskworld offers a number of natively-integrated features that use their charms. Tasworld's version of task management is the inspiration for this fun-filled to-do list... which starts off by making it very easy to get started, thanks to the project management software's intuitive interface.
Getting started has never been easier. Taskworld's interface takes you step by step through animated tutorials, once you've created your account and workspace. To create, classify, organise and assign tasks, task management is intuitive because it's highly visual. You choose the colour code of your choice and each icon guides you: the Taskworld task manager offers intuitive reference points. The visual management of tasks is based on long-established web user practices, in particular to facilitate note-taking and planning.
The interactive dashboard lets you manage your workflow by assigning interactive tasks . Of course, you can also set your deadlines and use a Gantt chart as a complement.
Your project management is partly based on good time management. Unlike Trello, you save time on repetitive work. You don't have to start from the beginning for each recurring task: you do as you see fit and define the repetition, you copy projects and classify them as you wish. No more redundant data entry.
More and more project managers are applying the GTD (Getting Things Done) approach, a method for organising your tasks and making sure you can react at any time according to your priorities. Clarifying teamwork has never been so easy: with Taskworld, you keep a constant eye on all your activities thanks to the overview available in the interactive dashboard.
Task 2: share your well-being via messaging
Where Trello offers chat as a paid Slack extension, Taskworld offers integrated chat. You and your team have access to a company messaging system that's ideal for sharing and discussing via a public channel, or via a private group if, for example, you assign certain members to a specific project.
You can put a definitive end to endless meetings, and free your inbox from a clutter of attachments that are often difficult to find, thanks to chat. This collaborative tool is a very fluid way of exchanging project information as a team. You can exchange files and attachments in real time by simply dragging and dropping them into your message: the files tab lets you find all your task-related attachments at a glance. To make your work even easier, Taskworld automatically integrates your Dropbox, Google Drive or box, whatever your web browser.
The "seen by" function (another Taskworld exclusive not available in Trello) shows you who has seen what and when... For example: you are the team manager and you assign a task to one or more members of staff. You know in real time whether each person has been informed. When you have Taskworld in your hands, there's no excuse, certainly not the famous "sorry, I didn't have access to my email box...".
Would you prefer to reply by email, using your own inbox? Taskworld's management software will make you a happy user: you can use the integration with your inbox (gmail, outlook, etc.) to reply, send messages and manage your notifications from your inbox. It's up to you to choose the most pleasant way to achieve the productivity you want - Taskworld adapts to your every need.
Task 3: fall under the spell of analytics
If Trello's ponderous lack of analytics leaves you sceptical about this management tool, Taskwolrd's analytics section will delight you. After all, you like to see the progress of your projects and associated tasks in real time, don't you?
We've already talked about the interactive dashboard: you always have an overview at your fingertips. You can also change the overview by configuring filters, depending on the precise information you want to see in your workspace. The application is designed to synchronise information at will.
Mr Project, say "33". Get an instant view of your project's state of health: Taskworld's analysis of your project sheds light on critical elements, alerting you and enabling you to react quickly.
Automatic synchronisation allows you to see which tasks have been completed, which are overdue, which are scheduled or which have no due date. To do this, take advantage of the benefits of visual task management:
- Your progress graph, called the Burn Down Chart, instantly shows you your unfinished tasks in your project. It assesses the possibility of completion: this is useful and vital for estimating the final completion date for your project.
- Another chart, the Burn Up Chart, associates the scope of your project with your completed tasks. When the two curves meet, your project is complete.
Task 4: mobile application brings you close to euphoria
The mobile application dedicated to task management will delight smartphone addicts and mobile project managers. In fact, there's just one argument that should be enough to win over the most ardent Trello users: Taskworld offers the exclusivity of integrated chat. No other task management software offers this decisive advantage for people on the move on a regular basis.
Mobile collaboration really comes into its own, because all the features of the Web App are available on the mobile app:
- you stay connected with your colleagues; intelligent real-time notifications help you,
- you can talk to your team even when you're on the move, and you have access to all shared files,
- you benefit from the same functionalities as on the TasKworld Web App, you create tasks, you can even assign tasks to team members, you leave comments, etc.
- the transfer from the Web App platform to the mobile App is very fast and synchronises automatically and seamlessly,
- In short, you take your office with you, and find all your projects and your workspace as if you were on the Web App.
Summary of the collaborative tools Trello is missing
Before we finish with a comparison table summarising the differences between Tasworld and Trello, there are two things you'll be pleased to know.
Taskworld offers unlimited storage: really, what's the point of using a collaborative tool if you can't put anything in it?
Another feature missing from Trello is project groups. The big difference can be summed up in one word: fluid. Within a project group, you can merge related projects, keeping your workspace functional, tidy and organised. Managing 100 projects is no longer a gas factory...
