Task Manager

Tasks help you track work across the workspace. Use them for bugs, documentation updates, design review, launch prep, implementation steps, and follow-up items from chat.

Atlas Labs task board showing the Backlog, To Do, In Progress, and Blocked columns with a demo task card

Board Layout

The task board is organized by status. Current columns include:

  • Backlog
  • To Do
  • In Progress
  • Blocked
  • Done

Each column header shows the status name and task count. Use the + action in a column to create a task directly in that status.

Create a Task

Click a column + action to create a task. The task detail dialog opens with fields for title, status, priority, due date, project link, assignees, acceptance criteria, linked channels, description, and attachments.

Give the task a clear title and enough description that someone else can understand the expected outcome.

Read Task Cards

Task cards summarize the work without opening the detail dialog. A card can show:

  • title
  • priority
  • description preview
  • status column
  • linked context when available

Click a task card to open its full details.

Move Work Across Statuses

Use the board to see where work stands. Move a task as the work changes state, or open the task detail dialog and change the Status field there.

Tasks become more useful when connected to other work:

  • Link a task to a project when it belongs to a larger initiative.
  • Link a task to a channel when discussion or specialist work is happening there.
  • Add assignees when a person or specialist owns the next step.
  • Add acceptance criteria when the done state needs to be explicit.

What to Explore Next

  • Task Details. Edit a task and add context.
  • Projects. Track project work and project tasks.
  • Chat. Discuss tasks with teammates and specialists.
