Workload control

In Work­sec­tion, the man­ag­er sees the com­plete pic­ture of projects and the work­load of each team mem­ber, as well as the team’s dai­ly plan. Use fil­ters to view tasks: closed, urgent, with spec­i­fied sta­tus­es and tags, or with­out them. Adjust the team’s work­load by dis­trib­ut­ing tasks even­ly among participants.

Make sure that employ­ees are not over­loaded with work, as this can neg­a­tive­ly impact the over­all mood of the team and con­se­quent­ly the results.

Convenient communication

No need to search for infor­ma­tion in exter­nal mes­sen­gers any­more. Com­mu­ni­cate and share files direct­ly with­in tasks, where the dis­cus­sion his­to­ry is stored. For quick com­mu­ni­ca­tion, use the built-in Work­sec­tion mes­sen­ger — with pri­vate, group, and project chats. In tasks, you can see who has been assigned respon­si­bil­i­ty, why the dead­line was moved, and what the man­ag­er replied to the client. AI sum­maries will help you quick­ly grasp the essence of lengthy discussions.

Gantt chart

The inter­ac­tive Gantt chart shows progress across all projects. Move and extend tasks with sim­ple drag-and-drop and cre­ate depen­den­cies between tasks. Switch between time scales — days, weeks, months — or view the Gantt by peo­ple to assess each team mem­ber’s work­load. You will see poten­tial bot­tle­necks that could lead to project disruptions.

Kanban board

Use Kan­ban to visu­al­ly sep­a­rate tasks by their com­ple­tion sta­tus. A board with inline edit­ing and bulk card selec­tion will help estab­lish a sequence for task exe­cu­tion. Assign a per­son respon­si­ble for each stage — the Kan­ban automa­tion allows for auto­mat­ic sta­tus changes and assign­ments when mov­ing cards between columns.

Time tracking

Keep track of where your time is spent in your busi­ness. Built-in timer Start/​Stop with col­or-cod­ed indi­ca­tors (green, orange, red depend­ing on dura­tion) will show the work­ing time of each employ­ee in real-time. Set indi­vid­ual hourly rates and com­pare plan vs real­i­ty. The Time Today” wid­get keeps the dai­ly work­load in sight.

Gen­er­ate a detailed expense report for each project to invoice the client.

Subcontractors

Work­sec­tion is great for work­ing with clients and third par­ties. Con­nect the clien­t’s team and sub­con­trac­tors to the project to col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly set tasks, dis­cuss, and track work. Assign the Guest” role — and they will only see the tasks assigned to them. For those who only need view­ing access — there is a Read­er” role.
Con­trol which projects the client has access to, and which ones they can­not see at all.
