# Task Management

 * I’m looking for a way to manage tasks through a WordPress blog. I’m open to suggestions
   for using the blog as is or with plugins to help. The main thing I need is a 
   way to assign tasks to people. As for descriptions of the tasks and follow up
   notes the standard WordPress post and comment features can be used, I suppose.
   Anyone have any ideas on this?
 * Thanks.

 * Not sure about the blog bit, but Alex King – one of the WP devs – wrote “Tasks”
   of which all I have seen is praise. Might be worth a look ?

 * Tasks is wonderful and it’s up to version 2.5 now and has recurring tasks (I 
   haven’t upgraded yet, but plan to). Give it a shot, it’s really great. There 
   is a demo version on Alex’s site so you can check it out.

 * Is this a WP plugin? It looks like a whole other app that happens to have some
   WP tie in.

 * No, it’s not a plugin.
    I don’t know of a plugin that could suit your needs, 
   but I did know about tasks, hence my post.

 * No, it is a web application that Alex King came up with. He is/was a [contributing developer](http://wordpress.org/about/)
   for wordpress.
 * I myself use it and I’m sure there are quite a few other wordpress users/devs
   that do. I love it and would never use anything else.

 * It’s not going to work for me. There are other non technical solutions on the
   table here that would be easier for us to implement. I need a simple plugin that
   doesn’t necesitate me creating new databases and such. (New tables within the
   existing WP database would be alright.) Something that will be quick to implement
   and would not cause my users to have to learn something new.

 * That’s a pretty tall order. I hope you find what you are looking for. Can you
   be more specific about what it is you need to have done for you and your users?
 * Meanwhile, the Hipster PDA might be what you need {{grin}}:

 * Hmm. I’m thinking some more about how you can do this with WordPress. Perhaps
   set up categories for various tasks (or task types) and a category for each user(
   each person who will be assigned tasks) so that it will sort by task or by user.
   You may also want categories for priorities (urgent, high, medium, low) or at
   least “completed”???
 * Private categories hides specific categories from all but certain users (users
   whose levels are set high enough). You could assign everyone else a lower user
   level and then use this to hide the “completed” category from everyone but yourself.
   That way, users will only see active tasks.

 * Upcoming events might be useful in some way:

 * I’ll try to look for more. This is fun actually, as Upcoming Events is useful
   for one of my web design clients’ sites!

 * I think we’ll just whiteboard it. That was my manager’s idea anyway. I was just
   trying to do something more techy with it.
