What is MeisterTask?
MeisterTask is part of the Meister Suite, a group of products for flawless workflow management. From ideation in our mind mapping tool, MindMeister, to online documentation in MeisterNote, your team unlocks a powerful toolkit that drives projects every step of the way.
What do you like best?
To use this tool, we only need a computer, which we can access with email or Google; carrying out our projects is safe, and we keep the whole team informed of the progress of each task, and projects can be carried out Kanban-style and maintain a tracking time spent.
It is an excellent tool for managing content and essential ideas, it allows us to tag our team in our tasks and assign various projects to specific people, see their performance and keep track of each project from start to finish.
The colorful kanban type interface, the multiple projects list you can have, colorful tags, integration from mindmeister, easy integration from other websites to spawn tasks. I use it on my phone, tablet, my ipad. Great looking dashboard too! I can use it as an engineer, or use it as a sales pipeline, manage work and play tasks…I use it as a notes database in my favorites, great search function, can assign tasks to my wife and others si she can execute things on my behalf
I like the ability to change the status of tasks and assign them to team members. Though not all team members were advocates of this method of record-keeping, I found it a useful way to organize my thoughts and keep the project on task.
What do you dislike?
I can’t say there is anything that I dislike about it. I only used the free version so there may have been a lot more features that I could have taken advantage of.
This is an awesome tool in my opinion. I cannot fault the features I use. Its available on my phone, ipad and windows 10 so my tasks are always available. I probably take on too much work because the tool makes it look easy to accomplish. 🙂
It has provided us with good functions to improve our creation and management of projects, it gives us options to share files, create a Kanban board, analyze expenses, work hours and more; honestly, we have not had any inconvenience.
Nothing we dislike about managing our projects is that it is simple and helps us do personalized and flexible work, it gives us integrations like Slack and Zendesk to create smooth work without interruption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have created a more flexible workflow, and we can share the projects with our marketing and human resources team and create work without interruptions to be in constant growth and reduce problems and tedious tasks.
I pop a lot of websites, share articles into my reading list, I manage pipelines, client reviews, any list of “projects”, workflows and anything I want quick reference access to, like my producer codes, critical data etc. Its made task management fun. You can add pictures, URLs, Notes, other projects to your tasks. I like being able to access my tasks across android, windows and apple seamlessly.
I used it to keep track of several projects, including the organization of our team’s participation in tradeshows, organizing a course we taught to teachers at a middle school and organizing the development of course materials for our STEM training program.
Problems like delay in activities of the projects, not exceeding deadlines as it give remainders, helps in remembering all the activities that are urgent for the concerned project.
We can create, manage, and work on several projects simultaneously with MeisterTask, even when working from different locations. The more significant benefit of using this software is that it is straightforward, reasonably priced, and widely available due to its cross-platform compatibility.
