Use task management to build a bridge between project planning and implementation

Smooth processes are crucial in product development projects. But the reality is often different: Unclear responsibilities, insufficient transparency about the project status, a lack of contextual information, and poor self-organization slow down project management and teams. In the industry, traditional project management tools quickly reach their limits, especially when projects become more complex, requirements change quickly, and agile methods are required. Find out how you can bridge the gap between planning and implementation with CONTACT Elements Tasks. You benefit from clearly structured project planning and increase your teams' ability to act.

Support project planning, control, and implementation

CONTACT Elements Tasks supports you in planning your projects as well as in controlling and operational implementation. Your project lead assigns tasks to project roles and thus provides a clear structure. Role owners automatically see their tasks in the My Tasks personal cockpit and have direct access to CAD models, documents and context information as part of the tasks assigned to them. Project leaders and controllers use project structure, schedule and resource plans as well as open points and checklists. The immediate availability of work items ensures transparency and results-orientation.
