Sharepoint Task Master

No more guessing when your projects will deliver.

Managing multiple projects and the resources spread across these projects can be difficult when the project is complex and contains tasks that depend on the successful completion of other tasks or projects. An important aspect of the project schedule is the ability to identify the overall schedule impact when the due date of any one task is changed. SharePoint out of the box offers a basic Project Tasks list with a Gantt view, but it is lacking in the real world application of effectively communicating project task status, priority, milestones and dependencies.

The SharePoint Task Master offers a Gantt view with drag-and-drop functionality, where you can quickly create and edit tasks, color code tasks by priority or status, and set up task dependencies. Identify milestones, configure which columns are displayed along with the Gantt chart, and set whether task information is displayed next to the Gantt bar. Create parent and child tasks and configure them so that the parent task start and due dates change based on any changes made in the start or due dates of its child tasks.
