HiTask - Project Management Online

What Is HiTask? (www.hitask.com)

HiTask is a simple task management application that is designed to satisfy both sophisticated followers of David Allan’s “Getting Things Done” methodology and anyone who just needs a quick and easy tool to manage their everyday tasks. HiTask gives you maximum comfort with minimum features to make your working day run smoothly and easily. Anyone can register and use HiTask service for free.

The interface is AJAX, very smooth and also very easy to use. You can drag and drop almost everything on the screen like meetings, reminders and even arrange tasks or the order of the main screen features which makes HiTask a very usefull tool for every working person!

In overall this is a very good web application, but it lacks all the finance related things that can be very usefull in project management.

Features Of HiTask:

• Drag and drop interface:
  Sort, schedule and assign tasks using only your mouse. The HiTask interface allows you to drag and drop tasks onto the Calendar to schedule them, and into the My Team section to assign them. You can also reshuffle and prioritize items on your task lists by dragging important tasks to the top.
• Personally prioritize & sort:
  Avoid assigning your tasks arbitrary priorities. Simply review your task list and arrange it accordingly to what YOU would do first. To sort tasks click and hold the sort icon on the right-hand side of the task bar and drag it to the appropriate slot on the task list. You can also rearrange tasks within the groups themselves.
• Work as a team:
  Get your team together at HiTask to assign and receive tasks. Invite or search for your team-mates and assign them tasks by dragging tasks onto the team-mate’s name.
• Group tasks in projects:
  Using Projects you can lay out consecutive tasks together. Or you can just group together tasks that belong to one category or project. To add a task to a project simply drag and drop the task onto the project. To create a new project click on “Project” link and then on the “Add Project” button. After you have added the task to a project the project’s name will appear next to the task name on the task list.
• Scheduling your tasks:
  Schedule your tasks, meeting and reminders by dragging them onto the Calendar. You can also change the duration of the task by dragging the event borders up and down in the Calendar. If you drop the task onto a date in the Calendar without specifying its duration it will automatically become a whole day event.
• Chat with your team:
  Chat with your team-mates to exchange instructions on assigned tasks or just discuss the latest news. To chat simply click on the team-mate’s name and enter your message. You can switch between several conversations at the same time.
• Task grouping:
  Switch between different grouping options to view your tasks in different perspectives. Date grouping allows you to view your tasks in chronological order. Project grouping allows you to bring together consecutive tasks. Use Color grouping to tag your tasks with color for arbitrary categorization. User grouping allows you to view assigned and received tasks grouped together.
• Tag tasks with color:
  Tag your tasks with a choice of eight colors to highlight important tasks or categorize them. You can instantly switch to color grouping by clicking on the Color grouping option above the task list.
