The most common mistakes in task tracking
Most teams try to track tasks in messaging apps or meeting notes. In that approach a task eventually disappears into the chat stream, its owner becomes unclear, and the due date stays on nobody’s radar. Keeping the task as a separate record is the precondition for tracking that actually holds up.
- Leaving a task as a chat message
- Opening work without assigning an owner
- Creating tasks with no due date
- Forgetting to close completed work
