2. Checklist with subtasks

Volume problem in "Bitrix24» can be easily broken down into concrete steps. Going back to the previous example, refurbishing a pick-up point involves many employees. You need to find contractors, purchase materials, think over the design and choose the right furniture. For each stage, the executor of the general task can appoint a responsible person who will share the results of work on the assignment. You can also attach necessary documents to subtasks and set deadlines.

A project with many branches will turn into a whole ecosystem in which each participant is clearly aware of his area of ​​responsibility. At the stage of general planning, it is easy to miss an important, but not obvious task. But in the course of dividing into subtasks, the “lost part” will quickly fall into place in the system, and therefore it will be possible to avoid unpleasant surprises in the process of work.

3. Different task visualization modes

To make your business more efficient, and the processes do not overlap, find a convenient way to visualize your work. AT "Bitrix24» You can choose a calendar, sticker format with deadlines, a linear list or a Gantt chart. To build a chart, click on the "Gantt" button in the main tasks menu. Tasks will be transformed into horizontal blocks stretched on the calendar grid. In this form, it is easy to track how many processes are running for each specific task and how they are performed. When you hover over the block, information about the performers, director, deadlines and priority of the task will immediately appear.

In the "My plan" mode, each employee will see his own individual kanban, in which it is easy to choose which columns to create and how to distribute tasks among them. Add milestones, assign additional deadlines - these actions will not be reflected in the main task, and no one will be disturbed by change notifications.

4. Scrum - for projects where flexibility is important

In the Scrum mode, you can distribute roles within teams and move towards the goal in small iterations. A fractional and adaptive scrum approach is suitable for managing projects in which changes are inevitable, and there is no clear plan at the start. For example, in software development, it is not always possible to predict how a process will unfold. Scrum will help the team quickly change the direction of work, even if it has to take a diametrically opposite course. Such a format will be highly appreciated not only in the IT sector, but also in manufacturing, the event industry, construction — any areas where there are unpredictable variables in work. In Bitrix24, you can create five Scrum teams for free — systematize big goals and global business plans.

5. Focus on what matters

In any project, it is important to understand which tasks are urgent and which do not require an instant response. When a mountain of tasks accumulates, it is difficult for the manager to control deadlines, and for employees to prioritize. AT "Bitrix24» You can track the status of tasks using a convenient filter. To configure, you need to open the "Tasks and Projects" section, use the navigation panel to sort tasks by role: "I do", "I help", "Assigned", "I observe". Next to each role there are numbers - counters that will tell you which tasks are overdue, which have not been watched, which require control or turned out to be without a deadline. So no task will be left unattended and everything will be completed without delay.
