Overview

One of the most important responsibilities of website development is to give the client useful project status information. Task Meister contains the best tools gained over 10 years of Bizware's mission to provide project visibility to its clients.

Task Meister became such a useful tool to synchronize expectations that we made it the first Webteam product. The most important feature of Task Meister was that it had to be simple, very simple. Our clients had to find it so easy to use that they would prefer it over calling, emailing, or worse — going without knowing where things stood. Instead of Gantt Charts, Critical Path Analysis, and so on, we distilled Task Meister into the essential tool of project management — an easy way to manage to-do lists.

We use Task Meister to break a project into its tasks. That shows clients how long each task will take, when it will be done, who is responsible for it, etc. A notes section converts haphazard email-based project comments into a one-stop destination for all promises and results.

And when a client checks project status, they will see open tasks to their own people as well, typically to provide content. Task Meister becomes your automatic project advocate.

When a client gets an idea, they enter it as a task description. You add the estimated hours, and it goes back to the client to change the task status to "Approved". This is fully traceable and becomes your automated cash register for additional work.

Task Meister also serves as your archive of all tasks requested, completed, or cancelled. This is particularly handy to track incident reports so you can recall how a bug was fixed when something similar comes up again.
