Keep task management clear

Clear task management helps everyone on remote teams understands their specific roles and responsibilities. Here’s how you can keep task management transparent and organized:

• Use a centralized task management tool: Platforms like Jira, Linear, Notion, or Trello allow you to assign tasks, set statuses, and update deadlines in one visible place.
• Set clear assignees: Ensure every task has a designated person responsible for its execution. This avoids any confusion about responsibilities.
• Define status categories: Use clear status labels like "To Do," "In Progress," "In Review," and "Done." This helps everyone track the progress of tasks and understand what stage each task is at.
• Encourage duration estimates: Have team members estimate how long tasks will take. This allows everyone to plan better and sets realistic expectations for task completion.
• Link to relevant documents: Attach all necessary documentation directly to the task in the management tool. This ensures that all resources needed are readily accessible and associated with the relevant task.
