Project Management:  

Creating a new project in @task is as simple as filling in pertinent information and assigning specific tasks to groups and individuals via dropdown boxes. You can also prioritize each task or project and automatically send emails should the task become overdue or priority changes occur.

A standout feature of @task is its dashboards and portals. You can customize each dashboard, choosing from a list of pre-defined options. This lets each individual user display the information he thinks is most important and in a way that fits his personal needs and work style.

@task also features a Risk/Benefit chart. Different size circles represent each prospective project, which incorporates the benefit of the project, how well it aligns with the company’s goals, the risk and the cost. The Risk/Benefit chart creates a visual depiction of possible projects for the company and makes it easier for the management to make an informed decision.

Ease of Use:  

Like most project management software, @task has a learning curve; be prepared to spend some time navigating the interface and reading the documentation to familiarize yourself with the program. We found the multimedia tutorials to be especially helpful. Once you’re familiar with the program, navigating is simple; easy–to–read menus and navigation bars help direct you to where you need to be.

@task provides Excel-based templates called KickStarts, which let you import an entire project management environment based on your business type.  KickStarts let you immediately plug in projects and tasks to save time in the setup process. You can also create and save your own templates tailored to your needs. For example, if you have the same task and same report due each month, you can store this as a template to save time in the future.
