Typically, an employee works on several goals, while monitoring of the tasks' progress might be done by someone else in a to-do-list, action plan or other task management lists.
When these lists are not interlinked, they cause obstacles due to
searching through several documents,
uncertainty about whether choosen data is correct and actual,
lack of access for some data folders,
and finally, the user becomes frustrated and starts to track the items with their own notes.
Additionally, miscommunication might happen, when the employee hasn't participated during an update of a list and action items may be missed.
Task Management: Single documents vs. documentation managed by a database
In the market, there are several software solutions available, which solve these issues. Nevertheless, some of them are quite complex and the employee may end up spending more time on the tool, than the actual work at hand.
Here is a new, simpler solution!
The Action Plan Database is a PHP/MySQL database and consists of a simple task list with the following features:
The leader will see all tasks from his team members and can easily navigate through them.
The team member will have a consolidated list of his tasks and can give feedback to the leader.
The champion of a project will see which projects contain problems and can easily navigate into the details.
And the best part: you don't have to send emails back and forth.
