5 Reasons To Give Task Board A Go

Paul Allington 12 August 2016 4 min read

If you're a freelancer or run a small team, you'll know the feeling. Projects slip. Approvals get buried in email threads. You're juggling three apps just to keep track of who's doing what. It's not a workflow, it's a workaround.

I built Task Board because I had exactly this problem. Here are five reasons it might help you too.

1. Your Schedule, Actually Managed

Project management and time management are the same thing — you can't do one without the other. Task Board gives you a clear view of what's active, what's done, and what's still waiting. Your whole team sees the same picture, so nobody's guessing what they should be working on.

Whether you're a solo freelancer or managing a distributed team, everything's in one view. No switching between apps to piece the picture together.

2. Sharing Without the Headache

Sending files by email and hoping everyone got the right version — we've all been there. It's painful. Task Board keeps files, feedback and comments attached to the actual task they belong to. Everyone who needs to see them can see them. Simple.

3. No Surprise Costs

Projects change. Scope creeps. Extra work appears. That's fine — it's how projects work. The problem is when the client doesn't know about the extra cost until the invoice lands. Task Board handles approvals upfront, so additional charges are transparent and signed off before the work starts. No awkward conversations later.

4. Clear Approvals

Every task needs sign-off from whoever set the work. It's a simple system — you can see at a glance what's approved, what's waiting, and what's been sent back. No more "did the client approve this?" conversations. No more digging through emails to find out.

5. Control From Anywhere

If your team's spread across different locations (mine certainly is — I run the whole thing from a garden shed), you need to see the bigger picture from wherever you are. Task Board works from any browser, so you can manage freelancers, check progress, and keep everything moving whether you're at your desk or on your phone.

It's free to get started, and the paid plans are based on team size, not features. Give it a go and see if it sorts out your workflow.
