How Worksection 2.0 simplifies project management

In the 18 years of Work­sec­tion’s oper­a­tion, we have noticed: a lot of time is spent not on the tasks them­selves, but on the actions sur­round­ing them. Find­ing the right task, fil­ter­ing the list, switch­ing between sec­tions, and then going back to where you left off.

Sep­a­rate­ly, this takes sec­onds. But in real work — espe­cial­ly in large projects — these small steps are repeat­ed con­stant­ly and dis­rupt the flow.
Our clients often spoke about this direct­ly. And even more often — they sim­ply tried to work around it”: switch­ing less, not touch­ing fil­ters unnec­es­sar­i­ly, stick­ing to the famil­iar view of tasks, even if it doesn’t quite fit.

That’s why in Work­sec­tion 2.0 we focused not on new sce­nar­ios, but on sim­pli­fy­ing the famil­iar ones. Remov­ing unnec­es­sary tran­si­tions, edit­ing tasks direct­ly in the list, sav­ing set­tings, and quick­ly switch­ing between dif­fer­ent work formats.

Here’s what’s changed in Work­sec­tion 2.0:

  • Tasks and projects open with­out reload­ing — you click once and you’re already working.
  • Inline edit­ing — change the name, sta­tus, dead­line, or assignee with­out nav­i­gat­ing to the task form.
  • The same work data in dif­fer­ent forms — switch with one click between list, Kan­ban boards, Gantt chart, and calendar.
  • Saved view modes — set fil­ters, columns, and group­ing once — and you won’t need to do it every time.
  • The main page as your own dash­board — pri­or­i­ties and ana­lyt­ics on the first screen, with­out the need to gath­er data manually.

When work slows down due to trivialities

We know that the biggest ene­my of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty is unnec­es­sary actions. Does it sound famil­iar? You sit down to work — and the first few min­utes are spent fig­ur­ing out where you left off. Find­ing the right project, open­ing the list, switch­ing between tabs, wait­ing for some­thing to load.

And when this hap­pens dozens of times a day, it’s easy to lose focus. That’s why in Work­sec­tion 2.0 we aimed to elim­i­nate all these moments. To spend less time on tran­si­tions between screens and more on the tasks themselves.

Side­bar and tran­si­tions with­out reloading

One of the things that slows work down the most is con­stant switch­ing between pages. Open a project, then reports, then set­tings — and every time it feels like start­ing over.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0 we sim­pli­fied this. The main menu is always at hand — on the left, no mat­ter where you are now. You can quick­ly switch between projects, reports, or set­tings with­out reload­ing” the page.

Because of this, con­text is not lost: you don’t return to the begin­ning every time and waste time find­ing the right place again.

Tab pan­el in the project

In projects, peo­ple rarely work in one view. Today you’re look­ing at the task list, in a minute — check­ing sta­tus­es on the board, then — dead­lines on the Gantt chart. Pre­vi­ous­ly, such tran­si­tions took time and often dis­rupt­ed settings.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0 we solved this with a tab pan­el inside the project.
Now you can switch between dif­fer­ent work for­mats with one click — with­out los­ing fil­ters, columns, or group­ing. You stay in the same space, just look­ing at tasks from a dif­fer­ent angle.

The tabs can be customized:
  • add those you use most often;
  • change their order;
  • remove the unnec­es­sary to avoid clut­ter­ing the interface.
In fact, it’s the same project, but in dif­fer­ent modes”:
  • list — when detail is needed;
  • boards — to quick­ly assess the state of tasks;
  • Gantt chart — when dead­lines and depen­den­cies are important;
  • cal­en­dar — to see the load over time.
Plus — addi­tion­al tabs like project overview, files, or reports, if need­ed in work.

Quick task creation

Famil­iar sit­u­a­tion: dur­ing a meet­ing or dis­cus­sion, a new task aris­es — and it’s impor­tant to cap­ture it imme­di­ate­ly, before it gets lost in chats or notes.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, this required open­ing a form and fill­ing out sev­er­al fields. It took time — and often dis­tract­ed from the con­ver­sa­tion itself.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, you can cre­ate a task lit­er­al­ly in a few sec­onds. Click Add” — enter the title, choose the assignee and dead­line. Every­thing else can be added lat­er when there’s time.
So dur­ing meet­ings or brain­storm­ing ses­sions, you don’t drop out of the process — just cap­ture tasks on the go and move on.

Edit­ing tasks with­out unnec­es­sary windows

When you need to make quick changes to tasks, unnec­es­sary tran­si­tions start to annoy. Open the task, find the field, change it, save, go back. If there are ten such tasks — it becomes a task in itself.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0 we sim­pli­fied this. Most changes can be made direct­ly in the work­space — with­out open­ing the task and with­out addi­tion­al steps.

You change dead­lines, assignees, or sta­tus­es direct­ly in the list or on the board — and see the result immediately.

Inline edit­ing direct­ly in the task table

In the task list, some­thing is con­stant­ly chang­ing: dead­lines shift here, assignees change there, labels are added some­where. This is a nor­mal part of the work — but it often takes the most triv­ial time.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0 these edits do not dis­rupt the process. You sim­ply edit the required field direct­ly in the table — and move on immediately.

With­out open­ing the task, with­out unnec­es­sary actions and with­out los­ing con­text. This is espe­cial­ly con­ve­nient after plan­ning or meet­ings, when you need to quick­ly update many tasks in a row and not lose pace.

Mass actions with tasks on Kan­ban boards

After meet­ings or review­ing tasks, it’s often nec­es­sary to quick­ly move” a large chunk of work: change sta­tus­es, update pri­or­i­ties, move tasks between stages.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, this had to be done one task at a time — and such triv­ial actions eas­i­ly wast­ed extra time.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, you can work with sev­er­al tasks at once. Select the nec­es­sary cards — and move them between columns or change para­me­ters at once.

The board updates imme­di­ate­ly, so you see the cur­rent sta­tus right away and don’t waste time on checks.

View­ing tasks in a con­ve­nient win­dow with navigation

When you need to quick­ly go through sev­er­al tasks in a row, con­stant open­ing and clos­ing of pages only slows down work.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, tasks open in a com­pact win­dow over the list. You can imme­di­ate­ly view details, switch between tasks using arrows or expand the win­dow to full screen — if focus is need­ed. With­out return­ing to the list and unnec­es­sary tran­si­tions between pages.

This is espe­cial­ly con­ve­nient when work­ing with relat­ed tasks and it’s impor­tant to quick­ly go through sev­er­al in a row.

Saved view modes

When work­ing with tasks, the same sce­nar­ios often repeat: check what’s planned for today, look at over­due tasks, go through crit­i­cal bug fix­es, or pre­pare tasks for testing. 

To avoid reset­ting the task table every time, in Work­sec­tion 2.0 you can save your own view modes. Each of these modes remem­bers every­thing: fil­ters, sort­ing, set and order of columns, task grouping.

You cre­ate a con­ve­nient view once — and the sys­tem saves it with all para­me­ters. You can return to it with one click.

Quick access to saved settings

Saved modes do not need to be searched in sep­a­rate menus — they are avail­able direct­ly from the views pan­el. This means that you can instant­ly switch between dif­fer­ent cuts of tasks: for instance, view pri­or­i­ty ones and then imme­di­ate­ly move on to over­due ones.

Indi­vid­ual task table settings

In dif­fer­ent teams and even in dif­fer­ent tasks, dif­fer­ent lev­els of detail are required. Some peo­ple are fine with basic fields, while oth­ers need to see as many para­me­ters as pos­si­ble at once.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, you can cus­tomize the table for your­self: add or hide columns, change their order, pin impor­tant fields, and adjust width. As a result, only what’s actu­al­ly need­ed for work at a giv­en moment remains on the screen.


Built-in chats for quick communication 

This is one of the updates users request­ed the most. Because in prac­tice it turned out that: tasks — in the sys­tem, but quick dis­cus­sions, clar­i­fi­ca­tions, and files — in sep­a­rate mes­sen­gers. As a result, part of the con­text was lost.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, com­mu­ni­ca­tion returns to one space. Now dis­cus­sions, files, and deci­sions live next to the tasks — with­out switch­ing between services.

Chats are divid­ed for dif­fer­ent work scenarios:
  • pri­vate — for one-on-one dialogues;
  • group — for team discussions;
  • project — auto­mat­i­cal­ly unites all project par­tic­i­pants in one space.
In chats, you can men­tion col­leagues and tasks, share files, and quick­ly agree on deci­sions. And for dis­cus­sions direct­ly on tasks, there’s a com­ments feed — to avoid mix­ing dif­fer­ent types of communication.

Real sce­nar­ios: how it works daily

Here’s how the changes in Work­sec­tion 2.0 look in the dai­ly work of dif­fer­ent roles in the team.

For lead­ers and busi­ness owners

Sit­u­a­tion: before the week­ly meet­ing, it’s nec­es­sary to quick­ly under­stand what’s hap­pen­ing in the projects.
Pre­vi­ous­ly, this meant sev­er­al sec­tions, man­u­al task checks, and sta­tus rec­on­cil­ing — essen­tial­ly sep­a­rate prepa­ra­tion for the meet­ing itself.
In Work­sec­tion 2.0, every­thing is con­sol­i­dat­ed into one screen: the dash­board imme­di­ate­ly shows key tasks, team activ­i­ty, and project dynam­ics. With­out man­u­al data col­lec­tion and unnec­es­sary transitions.

For project managers

Sit­u­a­tion: after a meet­ing with the team, it’s nec­es­sary to quick­ly note sev­er­al new tasks.
This usu­al­ly means cre­at­ing tasks one by one and hav­ing to go back each time. If some­thing dis­tracts — part of it might sim­ply not be saved.
In Work­sec­tion 2.0 drafts are saved auto­mat­i­cal­ly, allow­ing you to cre­ate sev­er­al tasks in a row while switch­ing between them. With­out los­ing entered data and unnec­es­sary actions.

For execu­tors

Sit­u­a­tion: it’s nec­es­sary to quick­ly update sta­tus­es of tasks in sev­er­al projects at once.
Instead of con­stant­ly open­ing each task sep­a­rate­ly, it’s enough to go to the table, fil­ter the nec­es­sary tasks, and change them right in the list. With­out page tran­si­tions and with­out los­ing context.

Work­sec­tion 2.0 mobile application

We have com­plete­ly updat­ed the Work­sec­tion 2.0 mobile appli­ca­tion for Android and iOS. Now it has a mod­ern inter­face adapt­ed to any screen size and allows you to stay con­nect­ed with the team wher­ev­er you are.

What’s new:

  • Adap­tive design — the inter­face adapts to the screen size: swipes, touch­es, and zoom­ing for com­fort­able work.
  • Most desk­top ver­sion tools — cre­ate, edit tasks, track progress, and com­mu­ni­cate with the team.
  • Push noti­fi­ca­tions — reminders about impor­tant changes in your projects.
Some fea­tures, like bulk oper­a­tions or drag­ging cards in Kan­ban, remain only on desk­top. But you can quick­ly respond to changes, view tasks, or agree on details with col­leagues — from your mobile.

Work faster with Work­sec­tion 2.0 

We have kept the famil­iar log­ic of Work­sec­tion, but made it even sim­pler and more con­ve­nient. Quick edit­ing direct­ly in tasks, flex­i­ble view set­tings, saved modes, built-in chats, and an updat­ed inter­face help you spend less time on rou­tine and more on actu­al work. 
Time is the most valu­able resource in project man­age­ment. Try Work­sec­tion 2.0 today — and see how dai­ly work changes when every­thing you need is at hand.
