The follow-up that does not live on a sticky note.
Every task hangs off the customer, deal, job or thread it came from, so doing it means opening the thing rather than remembering what "call back re: quote" meant three weeks ago.
What it does
A task carries its customer, deal or conversation, so the context is one click away. Standalone tasks exist, but the useful ones never are.
Assign to a person or a team, set a due date, and see what is overdue on the Home screen before anything else.
A workflow, a form submission, a failed payment or Lane can all raise a task, so work that arrives out of hours is waiting for you rather than lost.
Table, kanban by status, calendar by due date, grouped by assignee. Save the view your team works from.
A keyboard chord from any screen, the command palette, or an "Add task" on any record. Friction is why task lists die.
