App spotlight: MeisterTask

Getting work done is much like the evidence boards you see in crime movies. It's a mess, loosely tied together with string, and as the detective, you must crack the case on an impossible deadline. (With no noir soundtrack or a trenchcoat, unfortunately.)

With MeisterTask, you don't need to be a detective to make sense of your work. It's a task and project management tool that lets you collaborate with team members and build a virtual timeline of assignments. In a nutshell, it's an easy way to cut through the noise and chaos of project management.

Crack the product management puzzle with MeisterTask 

MeisterTask takes a visual, clutter-free approach to project management. First, there's a home dashboard you can customize to show you upcoming deadlines, task timers, and more. Your projects are laid out Kanban-style, so you get the visual satisfaction of moving tasks to the "done" column. 

MeisterTask shines by combining project features and visual design to make it a one-stop shop for project work—without being overwhelming. Tag coworkers on a task or add a comment to leave feedback. Attach relevant files and images to a project so you spend less time digging for that project brief. It's also easy to customize MeisterTask on a project level to suit your team's workflow.

No need for detective work (or string) to achieve those deadlines. Connect MeisterTask with Zapier and automate your work across your favorite apps.
