Taskboard is a simple and clean interface to a functional and minimal application for keeping track of tasks.

Taskboard makes it easy to start keeping track of anything you need to get done. The visual aspect of a board allows for easy status checks and can be motivating for users who want to move their tasks to the next column. Most taskboards are Kanban boards.

Kanban boards are visual boards with columns as the various stages of processes and cards as a task in that stage of the process.

Mongrov has an integrated taskboard with description, category labels, checklists, dates, and a place holder to comment and record all activities.

  • Taskboard is a tool for project management — Any business or person, whether they have a few tasks or many, will benefit from a task board. A task board stores information on various tasks in one place so it is easier to manage. Less searching for information and asking questions means more making things happen.
  • Taskboard is a tool for the organization — Simply stated, a task board helps teams make sure the right things are completed at the right time. Put it on the board, prioritize, and assign a team member. See who is working on what and get a clear picture of when it will be completed.
  • Taskboard is a tool for collaboration — Task boards create a central location where people can come together (physically or virtually) and review what is happening, what happens next and discuss how it can be improved. When a team rallies around a task board the keys to sharing work; swarming on bottlenecks and generally doing bigger and better things together become readily apparent.
  • Taskboards is a tool for empowerment — The same way task boards bring people together, they give team members ownership. Task boards are not restrictive but conducive to exploration. They put a face behind each task in the process, giving people the freedom to make whatever updates or changes and truly own the task.
  • Taskboards help reduce waste — Doing the right things at the right times is a big part of reducing waste. No matter what method of production a team adheres to, nobody likes waste. By using a task board people are properly utilized and resources are optimized for the best results.

Taskboards is a tool for improvement — Once a task is completed, you don’t throw it out and start the next one. Task boards allow you to track how, when, and why impediments, if any, occurred along the way so next time you take on a similar task, you and your team execute better. It leads to continuous improvement, better planning, and better results in each instance.
