Task team – definition, leadership and management software

Let’s give task team definition. Task team (aka action group) is a group of people joined temporarily or permanently to accomplish some task or to be engaged into some project (collective action). Of course, task teams need to be structured and managed appropriately, so there should be certain task team and individual roles which define responsibilities and duties of each team member, along with seniority chain that is driven by the task team leader.

This role is the most responsible, because leader is not only the superior, but rather the senior team leader, proving guidance, help and advice to all other members, along with their encouragement and supervision. That’s why task team leader should be one of the most experienced persons in the team, knowing the trade from inside, and along with this, task team leader should master some psychological techniques to overcome conflicts and stimulate people. There is special software that can help team leader to supervise and guide the team.

CentriQS is client-server teamwork software that can be used by task team members for planning and sharing their tasks described with multiple parameters, and for controlling these tasks through using adjustable interface modes (timeline, calendar, task tree, to-do list) for keeping aware of performance, task team and individual productivity, for identifying project evolution, controlling costs and efficiency.

To use this software in task team – do the following: 

• Use the Tasks view to create tasks and sub-tasks
• Assign your tasks to users
• Keep track of the tasks by the State column
