Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wa ard developinga new database driven portfolio managment with a team of more than 12 people. We are using MeisterTask for the task to steer our four developers, to use it for reorganisation our task within the group and to develop the future design of our data base driven portfolio management. We decided to have different steps of engineering from an idea to an task for the delevoper. Even after the task is done by the developer it is used for a review by the team.

Pros

Easy to collaborate on a project by inside and external employees
Very easy to use and understand the features
new users are easily brought to the project

Cons

i am missing a Gantt Chart
there is no calendar function

Likelihood to Recommend

MeisterTask is a professional way to manage the task in the team with internal an external employees. The external developers are manged by tickets through MeisterTask. MeisterTask could manage a several number of projects at the same time. For different projects it easy to define the team which is used for the project.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using MeisterTask for my personal use in Andriod and for professional use as well. For personal use I have been using it for managing my personal Tasks and for setting reminders. In my project, we are using it for setting Teams level Tasks, taking notes, and setting tasks completion reminders. These are a few of the daily-to-day use cases, apart from this we are using it for managing project activities, time tracking, and many other things.

Pros

Creating Tasks
Setting reminders
Managing Tasks at Team level
Time and Task tracking

Cons

Free version for individual use can have more features
May be its a phone bug, but sometimes notification comes late in my android device

Likelihood to Recommend

So far it's the best Task management App I have used. Its user-friendly kanban-based tool which is best suited for professional use as well. I use it for personal and professional Tasks and time tracking. Even with the basic plan, we can leverage features that are enough for individual use. As of now, I don't see any area where it's less appropriate to use.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Very good app to track all your task and a reminder for that. You can relay on the app and stay tension free about due dates as we get the e-mail notification for that. Also, you can see the status and required actions for the task. If you are TL, you can assign the task to your team.

Pros

Assign Task to yourself.
Assign task to reporte.
create group and assign the activities.

Cons

Visual representation of the task-status.
some more facilities in free version.
E-mail with detail description.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are working on multiple projects, so it was very difficult to review and manage the task assigned to each and every person, so we used the Meister task to assign the individual and group task. So the app tracks all the details and makes us work on the main task.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Meistertask as a task management tool for incoming external jobs, tracking orders from receipt to fulfillment. We also used it to manage cross-functional teams’ work, but this was more a stepping stone to more complex systems.

Pros

User interface is friendly
Board style was flexible
Email replies to notifications

Cons

Business features were lacking
Slow product updates
Calendar and Timeline views were not very useful

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are doing simple tasks, and do not need to see Gantt dependencies, this can work for you. You likely know that other tools seem cumbersome already, and Meistertask is the opposite. If you like mind mapping, try combining this with Mindmeister by thhe same company to integrate your mind maps into actual project plans.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used as a simple one off task tracker for small projects with usually one person assigned to it. It covers all the basics - time tracking per task, assigning with deadlines, file uploads, commenting, and custom statuses. It has a good mobile app and is very easy to pick up and get things set up and running quickly.

Pros

Easy to use interface
Good amount of customization
Has integration with most of the commonly used platforms

Cons

Hard to set up a portfolio of projects
Limited set of project views
May not dive deep enough for some users or workflows

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have simpler projects or tasks that are relatively cut and dried this works great. I love that time tracking is built in and can be exported. I haven’t had a chance to use it in an environment where there are a lot of assignees working collaboratively but it has potential to work there as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used MeisterTask as part of courses wherein students need to learn to work as marketeers and also undertake project management. This tool is being used to allow the students to learn to work with deadlines and multiple tasks and projects to help support agile ways of working with in school.

Pros

visually clearly to distinguish tasks
simple tracking
creating projects and todo's right out of MindMeister

Cons

with checklist item show a progress counter on the task card
possibility to make columns smaller, now one needs to scroll when one had more than 4 columns

Likelihood to Recommend

Suited: easy to set up with small teams to collaborate and work together in projects and tasks to meet deadlines personal productivity Less suited: not so project management/ agile/ kanban trained people, they will need to get used to it, however it is fairly intuitive to learn the basics and start using it

Manage my work in an orderly and simple way.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Within the company it is an essential requirement to use this software since it simply recompiles workflows based on everything that should be done during the day, week, month and even the entire year if possible. This workflow that is collected can be managed on a single board or it depends on the case in which you want to manage the tasks. It has a very clean interface, so that you can manage tasks more easily and effectively while maintaining a very linear logic in the work process. It keeps the work aspect very active and organized making me feel that my work isn't as heavy as it looked.

Pros

The learning curve is really short compared to other software that is related to this.
It is very easy to manage several projects at the same time, thus saving time in the work process.
Managing the elements of the list is very comfortable since its interface allows everything to work in an orderly manner based on what I want to put as important for me.
It has versions that are adapted to any type of company or if you want to give a personal use because it also has an option based on what you want to do with MeisterTask.

Cons

Based on the prices offered there is a large gap between these since each version has different characteristics with respect to the other, sometimes it is a bit difficult to choose.
After loading a file into a task it cannot be downloaded immediately, this happens since MeisterTask is not really optimized since it must process very slowly the file inside the cloud storage it has.
It would be nice if there was a calendar that shows in detail when a task has been scheduled and visually appealing when the task is finished.

Likelihood to Recommend

I give MeisterTask a good daily use in my work space since it manages to optimize my workflow, helping me to finish my projects correctly without forgetting pending tasks and scheduled deadlines. In my sales case, I keep all the work informed by tracking from beginning to end each project I carry out.

Meister Task was used by our whole organisation as a project management app. We needed a software to keep everyone accountable to their tasks, follow up on deadlines etc.

Pros

Brilliant UI
Very easy to navigate
Easy to collaborate on projects
Great for keeping to deadlines

Cons

There are project management tools that are more advanced. However, for a free tool it is great

Likelihood to Recommend

Meister Task is one of the best project management tools one can use that is free. It is great for people who value a clean interface that looks good. It is also great for people who need a small learning curve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MeisterTask is being used as a cross-country project follow-up tool. It helps with the quick organization and follow-up of tasks. Its mobile capability increases ease of use by team members.

For example, our headquarter team usually leads country-specific projects and those projects involve teams from different regions. Previously those projects had weekly regular meetings when tasks were reviewed and discussed. It was difficult to get together more often as the resources had busy schedules.

With MeisterTask, now it is much easier for team members to communicate any time without meeting setup. With the mobile devices, updating tasks, asking questions and adding comments take minimum time, increasing efficiency through the organization.

Pros

Setting up projects and resources are quite easy.
Free version has a lot features.
Communication between team members is quite easy, asking and answering questions, assignment to other members, and submitting progress are some quick and painless operations.
Friendly user interface and easy learning curve.

Cons

Some detailed task definitions may be difficult to implement.
Those using traditional project tools may find MeisterTask a little bit superficial and scattered.
Often you may need additional tools to complete the inefficiencies of Kanban board (no analytics for team performance, lack of time planning, etc.).
Reports and analytics are limited.

Likelihood to Recommend

When you are geographically distant, MeisterTask is really helpful for quick questions and status updates.

Hidden gem for project management

August 1, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MeisterTask was implemented to support project management and team collaboration. The whole team uses it. We had tried a lot of tools before MeisterTask but actually, only this one solved some of our problems. Also, it is incredibly easy to get through the onboarding process—the whole team implemented it very quickly and with pleasure.

Pros

Unlimited project boards
User-friendly panel
Intuitive on boarding

Cons

Mobile app!

Likelihood to Recommend

MeisterTask will work great with especially big projects that involve a lot of people within your team. It helps you keep any project on track and avoid misunderstandings since everyone has access to the tool. I highly recommend it for organizations that struggle with project management and can't handle delegating tasks.
