Task Master

Turn strategy into action. Task Master is where objectives become projects, projects become tasks, and tasks get done — with AI assistance, templates, and streamlined request workflows.

Overview

Unlike standalone project management tools, ILPapps Task Master connects every task to the objective behind it. When a team member completes a task, the key result it supports automatically reflects the progress. Strategy flows down; execution flows up.

Key Features

Project Management

• Create & organize projects — Set up projects with descriptions, owners, timelines, and team members.
• Project settings — Configure statuses, fields, and workflows per project.
• Budget tracking — Track project budgets (available to budget managers).
• Location assignment — Associate projects with office locations.

Task Management

• Create tasks — Add tasks within projects with assignees, due dates, priorities, and descriptions.
• Subtasks — Break complex tasks into smaller subtasks for granular tracking.
• Status workflow — Move tasks through customizable status columns (To Do → In Progress → Done).
• Assignments & due dates — Clear ownership and timeline for every task.

Templates

• Task templates — Save recurring task structures as templates for quick reuse.
• Standardize processes — Ensure teams follow consistent workflows for common operations.

Inbox

• Personal task hub — A dedicated space for standalone tasks that do not belong to any project.
• Quick task capture — Rapidly create tasks from your inbox without navigating to a project.

Request Tasks

• Request submission — Team members can submit task requests that go through an approval process.
• Approval workflow — Managers review and approve/reject task requests before they become active tasks.

Dashboard

• Project metrics — Track completion rates, overdue tasks, and workload distribution.
• Task analytics — Understand throughput, bottlenecks, and team velocity.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to Task Master from the sidebar.
2. Create a project and invite team members.
3. Add tasks with clear descriptions, assignees, and due dates.
4. Use the Dashboard to monitor progress.

Best Practices

• Link tasks to OKR key results so daily work connects to strategic goals.
• Keep task descriptions specific — include the definition of done.
• Use subtasks for anything that takes more than a day.
• Review the Dashboard weekly to catch bottlenecks early.
• Set up request workflows so ad-hoc work does not derail planned objectives.
