A task management tool is used by an individual, team, or organization to complete projects efficiently by organizing and prioritizing related tasks. Task management tools come in many forms, like basic spreadsheets or online project management applications. Task management is the practice of tracking a task through to completion. Most people do some type of task management, without thinking about it, every day. Even making your morning coffee requires you to break down a larger project (“make coffee”) into smaller steps (“grind coffee,” “change filter,” etc).
