Users can be broadly classified into two categories:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>People using task management software for personal use<\/li>\n<li>People using task management software at work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Note: If you are looking to get task management solutions, check out the various offerings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/task-management-software\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>People using task management software for personal use need a tool that\u2019s really simple to use. For them, it\u2019s okay to sacrifice on features\u00a0such as collaboration capabilities or analytics, because their use is fairly straightforward. The most they would like to do is share their To-Do list with very few members from their family and friend circles.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, for someone looking for a task management solutions for work, it\u2019s a completely different scenario. Business workers need to collaborate with many different stakeholders:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Internal Stakeholders<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0their immediate team members, superiors, colleagues from other departments, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>External Stakeholders<\/strong> \u2013 customers, vendors, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Due to their more extensive and varied use, business workers need a much more capable solution for managing their daily work and information than personal productivity tools i.e. they need all of these basic capabilities:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a <\/strong>Task management with the ability to assign tasks to team members<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a <\/strong>Ability to collaborate with team members via discussions and file sharing<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Basic analytics. For example, the number of tasks pending, the number of tasks assigned to each team member, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Access control with administrative and non-administrative users and the ability to easily add\/remove users<\/p>\n<p>Plus many of these intermediate to advanced capabilities:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a0Change history on the data<\/strong> \u2013 Who changed what and when!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a0Email notifications<\/strong> \u2013 Whatever anyone says, email still rules work life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a0Ubiquity with both mobile and web application<\/strong> \u2013 While most popular personal productivity tools are mobile-only, that doesn\u2019t work for business users because a majority of business users use a laptop or PC for most of their workday. So, having both web and mobile access is another must have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a0Powerful search and filtering capabilities<\/strong> \u2013 Well, a team has much more data than a single user can ever have, so it becomes very important to provide capabilities to easily find information. This is typically done with a combination of search and filter features.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a0Different views of the data to accommodate the variety of use cases and users\u2019 objectives<\/strong> \u2013 In business use, many people are looking at the same data, but are examining it with very different perspectives and objectives. For example, consider a team working on a project; while an individual contributor will be interested in knowing what tasks he is assigned, a project manager would be more interested in knowing the tasks for the entire project and how the team is tracking against them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u221a\u00a03rd party integrations<\/strong> \u2013 The task management solution needs to work in the ecosystem of tools used within any organization today. So, it should integrate with popular tools such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, Zapier, etc.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"impact-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Task_Management_Hurdle\"><\/span><strong>The Task Management Hurdle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A few years ago, I was involved with managing a family business. I was tasked with finding an appropriate task management tool for our small business. We created a list of requirements and capabilities along the lines of the above list. However, we soon realized one important limitation.<\/p>\n<p><em>We discovered that most <a href=\"https:\/\/weekplan.net\/task-management-tips\">task management solutions<\/a>, including the more popular ones, restrict themselves to managing tasks but do not help manage information, which in fact is the lifeline of any organization today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me explain using a real scenario we faced. Our recruitment team wanted to track some information for every candidate i.e. <em>number of jobs the candidate has changed in the last 5 years<\/em>. This piece of data helped the recruiting team gauge the level of career stability\/stagnation of the candidate. It also became quintessential for shortlisting candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Our recruitment team tried multiple popular task management solutions but none of them offered a satisfactory solution.<\/p>\n<p>The issue they faced was that most task management tools handle custom information in one of the following two ways (<em>none of which really work<\/em>):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2297 <\/strong>The tool does not allow users to add custom information, except in a general field such as &#8220;Notes&#8221;. Adding it in a general field such as \u201cNotes\u201d doesn\u2019t work because we can\u2019t filter on it to list, say, only those candidates where <em>1 &lt;= number of jobs changed in last 5 years &lt; 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2297<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The tool allows users to add the information but it&#8217;s bolted on and doesn&#8217;t provide a seamless experience. Our recruitment team faced this problem with two popular task management tools (Trello and Wrike). Even though these tools allowed adding the data by using a custom field, they didn&#8217;t support filtering or sorting candidates based on it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In a nutshell, most task management applications have adopted a fixed schema approach for storing the data as this makes the development of these tools much easier. But it makes the tool inflexible and difficult to extend in real-life scenarios.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"impact-text\">The Orgzit Way of Task Management<\/p>\n<p>We realized that we needed something beyond task management to manage our daily work. We needed a solution that would help us do at least three things:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Store a variety of business information. For example customer information (CRM), people information (HRMS), reimbursements, operations related information, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2. Manage tasks for team members and collaborate with the team via information sharing, discussions, and file sharing<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3. Provide summary reports and analyze data to the management team<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/\">Orgzit<\/a>, we have taken a different approach.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Instead of force-fitting users into a fixed information schema, we give users complete control over it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the information schema is not just restricted to the field name and datatype but it is much richer with <strong>field attributes<\/strong>; <em>these are properties that can be added to fields to customize the behavior of the field.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Allow me to explain better. Consider a simple string field; its behavior can be changed by adding one of the following field attributes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 Email<\/strong> \u2013 the field is supposed to store an email address; it turns on validations that allow the field to reject anything that is not an email address<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 URL<\/strong> \u2013 similar to the email above; it means that the field is supposed to hold a URL<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 Textarea<\/strong> \u2013 the field should be displayed as a text area when entering information<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 Dropdown<\/strong> \u2013 the field should be displayed as a drop-down when entering information so that the user can select from a pre-defined set of values<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 Admin-edit-only<\/strong> \u2013 the field is editable only by administrator users<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u2666 Required<\/strong> \u2013 to indicate that this is a required piece of information<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like having a database on which users can create their own customized information schema to a large extent \u2013 <em>with zero coding required so that even non-programmers can do it<\/em>. Once the information schema is defined, data can be added \u2013 referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/the-structure-of-orgzit\/\">records<\/a> in Orgzit (analogous to a row of information in a spreadsheet or a database table).<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration is always at the forefront with the ability to add tasks, discussions, and files to every record.<\/p>\n<p>Orgzit provides many other features:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2 <\/strong>Tailored tasks views (My Tasks \/ Project Tasks)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2 <\/strong>Record activity history<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2 <\/strong>Built-in analytics<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2 <\/strong>Data Filtering<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2 <\/strong>Real-time notifications on both web and mobile app<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u21d2\u00a0<\/strong>Workflows<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll save talking about these for a later date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Have you faced this problem while managing your information and tasks at work?<\/p>\n<p>As a fellow entrepreneur and colleague, I would love to know your thoughts on our information first approach to building Orgzit, and how can you use it differently.
