I believe task management play a very important role in project management and online collaboration. Task management can be very simple such as your personal task which reminds you do something. It also can be very complex which involves multiple parties, getting approval from someone, running parallel, etc. Each type of task management is targeting to different type of user group. Hence, the task management under ajaxworkspace.com (which explained in online collaboration for teamwork and project management) is targeting to intermediate user such as freelancer and small-midsized project.
Task management allows user organize task including simple task, checked task and approval task among your team members by project or organization. Here the details:
Simple Task
Simple task is selected when creator does not need to verify the task’s result. E.g. task remind someone to read a proposal.
- Simple task involved 2 processes- Create, Realize.
- Create – Task create by someone
- Realize - Responsible user does and realizes a task.
Checked Task
Checked task is selected when creator or someone need to verify the task’s result. E.g. task request someone to complete a presentation document. Once completed, the task will route back to person who process for verification.
- Checked task involved 3 processes – Create, Realize, Process
- Create – Task create by someone
- Realize - Responsible user does and realizes a task.
- Process - Responsible user checks and verifies all the requests in this task are done correctly.

Approval task is selected when the task need approval before it can be start. Someone also needs to verify the task’s result at the end. E.g. task request someone to update a new sales quotation after get an approval from sales manager.
