“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” — Douglas Adams

While this may have been true for Douglas Adams, writer of amusingly absurd sci-fi, those of us with more mundane jobs need to pay more attention to our project deadlines. And the more projects there are, the trickier this gets. That’s why MeisterTask now has a single place where you can get an overview of all your projects and their key metrics — so you can stay informed and take action before you hear that deadline go whooshing by.

Home screen widget: your top projects at a glance

First up, we’ve added a Projects widget to the Home screen.

Add your top projects to this widget for a convenient way to keep tabs on them. For each project, you’ll see:

  • Project name

  • Completion (as a percentage of tasks completed)

  • Number of open tasks

  • Number of overdue tasks

It’s a handy way to track key metrics at a glance, and spot any potential risks to project progress.

imagePlus, click on any metric to jump to a custom report with more details — like which tasks are overdue and who’s assigned to them.

Projects page: one place to oversee all projects

The new Projects page replaces the existing Projects tab in the sidebar.

It’s a tidier, more useful overview of all your projects, including the same key metrics that you’ll see on the Home screen widget.

Additionally, you can sort your projects by name or any other key metric, such as completion percentage.

Who is this for?

The Projects page and Home widget are primarily for project managers, though they’re helpful for anyone who wants to:

  • See project progress at a glance

  • Identify at-risk projects and take action

  • Communicate progress to stakeholders

What does each plan include?

  • Basic (Free): can access the Projects widget on the Home screen and the Projects page. Can’t click through from metrics to reports.

  • Pro: can click through from metrics to reports. Can’t change filters or save custom views.

  • Business and Enterprise: full access including creating and saving custom views.
