It’s no secret that Google Workspace appears to be the most popular service bundle for businesses and education. Both of these actually need a Google Workspace task management app to be effective.

Task management is a crucial process for any job. Generally speaking, even if you have never given it a thought, every time you receive or give tasks, you mentally go through some sort of management process. You define the deadline for the task, consider its priority, and indicate the steps that you need to fulfill. A dedicated task management app enhances the process through visualization. It depicts all the significant points of the task via interface, e.g., describes the task in detail and shows relations between tasks.

Using a task management app within a team can elevate productivity levels. The app serves as a reminder of what should be done and within what timeframe. Additionally, it displays the responsible team members for different tasks, which helps the whole team understand the workload of individuals.

How to Choose a Task Management App?

Choosing a task management app isn’t as difficult as you might believe it to be.

Define goals. Start by defining the goals you have for it. It will help you to understand what features are essential for your workflow.
Research. Conduct research to determine which of the current options best suits your needs.
Test. Once you have narrowed down the list to the one that seems right for you, it’s time to get the team involved and test it.
Feedback. Get feedback from the team. Pay attention to different opinions and experiences.
Pros and cons. You can then compare the pros and cons received in the feedback from team members who have tried it.
Purchase. If the overall result is positive, purchasing and implementing the app come next.
Analyze. After your new task management app has been added to your workflow, it’s simply a matter of analyzing how it’s used and ensuring you get the maximum benefits from all it offers.

What About Google Workspace Clients?

In April 2020, Google Workspace (at that moment G Suite) reached 6 million paying customers according to the report of CNBC. In addition to this, 120 million students and educators use Google Workspace to collaborate and communicate. Companies of various sizes and industries are listed on the Our Customers page of Google Workspace. And all these people might want an app to keep track of tasks.

Here at Kanbanchi, we often ask our clients how they discovered the app. Usually, they reply that they simply used the “Google Workspace task management app” search query. Since they are already paying for Google Workspace, they naturally want a tool integrated with the suite. This definitely makes sense!

Just like Google Workspace, companies and businesses of all sizes and industries trust Kanbanchi. This fact proves that both services are versatile tools for teams.

Why Kanbanchi?

Kanbanchi customers value the way the app integrates with Google services. First of all, Kanbanchi boards behave just like any other file in the Drive. Shared Drive integration is also possible, which appears to be an important feature for enterprises. No doubt, Kanbanchi is secure, as all the files attached to Kanbanchi cards are stored in the Drive.

Furthermore, Kanbanchi provides a range of essential features for effective task management. Being built as a Kanban tool, it allows tasks to be arranged on a Kanban board. However, other views are also available. For instance, by switching to the Gantt chart, you may get an overview of the tasks on the timeline. Alternatively, you can use the Task list to view tasks in a list, with all properties in separate columns.

Of course, Kanbanchi focuses on collaborative features. Thus, tasks can be distributed among team members. It is easy to use a board at the same time with the other collaborators, as all the changes are reflected in real-time. No need to refresh!
