Work Planner Module

No matter if you call it a todo or to do or a task list, if you use one you know how effective a task management system is in getting things done. A task scheduler helps you in many ways. They help you take the thoughts out of your head, put them on paper and leave your mental RAM free for thinking rather than occupying it with short term storage. You can more efficiently manage tasks rather than letting things slip through the cracks.

Once on paper you can number your items according to your priorities so you can focus on getting the most important things done first.

So you have it taped on a personal level. Now, how do you get everyone else in the organisation on the same page, with the same priorities?
How do you communicate long term plans with short, mid and long-range targets to multiple people?
How do you check on the progress of each item to make sure the long term goal will be met?
How do you give a person the ability to add their own to do items to the ones you have set?

If you manager others you can take each item on your paper to do list or spreadsheet and assign it to a person and even give items a target to do by date. But the tool quickly becomes unwieldy.

That’s why we created the Work Planner Module. You can use it simply as a personal to do list for each person in your organisation. Or you can sit down and write a 200 step program to double your business in the next two years. You then assign each item to a staff member with a to do by date. After which you track the progress of each item as they are done. This comprehensive work flow planning tool gives you total transparency and accountability for every item on your master to do list.

Some of our clients have a list of things that have to be done for each job. Rather than enter each of these items every time you start a job you can create a template of to do items for each type of job. When you start a job the template items are copied to become part of your task list. Over time this will save an enormous amount of what would otherwise be wasted effort, typing the same task list every time you start a job.
Having the items in the task list significantly reduces the chance of tasks slipping through the cracks.

Work Planner

The Work Planner Module enables the setting and management of tasks and targets. It will enable any user to create as little as a single "To Do" item or a 500 step program. These targets can be assigned to specific persons with do by dates. They can be packaged into sub-programs like Marketing, Sales, Production, Quality Control, Finance etc. One can also create a template of tasks that can be auto-inserted. When a user edits a previously saved record their edits are displayed in red to highlight them. Each list of records has the option to select which fields display in the list.
