Jira is powerful, but "powerful" often means "complex." New teams spend their first sprint configuring project types, workflow schemes, and permission hierarchies instead of shipping. Lodos Task Management is built on the idea that project tracking should work immediately — boards ready in minutes, not hours.
Kanban Boards Without the Overhead
Create a board, add columns (To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done — or whatever stages fit your workflow), and start adding tasks. Drag-and-drop moves tasks between columns. That's the full setup. No scheme configuration, no issue type hierarchy to define.
Tasks support everything you need:
- Title, description, and rich text notes
- Assignee (from your workspace collaborators)
- Due date with calendar integration
- Priority levels — urgent, high, medium, low
- Labels and custom tags
- Comments and team discussion
Calendar View
Switch between Kanban board view and Calendar view with one click. The calendar view shows tasks as events on their due dates — useful for capacity planning and spotting deadline clusters before they become problems.
Integration With the Rest of Lodos
Because Task Management is part of Lodos, tasks connect to the broader workflow:
- Tasks created from MeMeet action items appear automatically on the board
- Mention a task in Social Hive and it links to the actual card
- Attach API requests from the API Tester to bug tickets
- Time tracked in Kronos can be logged against specific tasks
