So what I've been doing is playing with the process so that Bugs are considered tasks and appear on the taskboard. I want to be able to give a well organised list of jobs to my developers and have them work through it quickly. Again, duplicating the overhead of 'jobs'. Meaning you need to create a bug and create a task for every bug. This means duplicating every task (with a PBI) and updating task (+PBI) statuses twiceДў) Bugs are essentially PBIs. I can see some instances where a PBI and multiple tasks are required (Particularly when developing something new) but the number of 1 to 1 PBI's to tasks would be such a high percentage (Particularly when updating/fixing/upgradingД®xisting functionality). This isn't massively different to the Scrumm template - where my 'release' is a 'sprint', which has a taskboard for the current sprint listing all of the tasks to be completed.ДЎ) Every task needs a Product Backlog Item. This method works really well because it has such a low management and developer overhead, but it has the problem that bugs are not visible to anyone and that the management team cannot easily see where the latest release is - it's all handled in TFS. Great for testing,Д¬hecking progress, writing change logs, etc.

This gives us a full list of tasks which are included in the publish. My team goes in and works on his/her tasks and then picks up any of the 'Any Developer' tasks and assigns them to themselves.Д®ach task is set to 'Ready For Test' when complete and another developer will work on it and, if successful, they set it to 'Queued For Release'. Whilst others are assigned to 'Any Developer'. Some of these tasks are assigned to a specific developer, We have a pool of tasks assigned to a 'release' (A Task with all tasks needed to be completed for the next publish linked to it). IвЂ™m really not sure why such a great app is hiding inside of the Google Workspace system via Gmail, but having it accessible by itself is a great asset in my opinion.I have been working with my team in a very task-driven process.

Let me know in the comments if you find that using the web app instead of having all of your productivity relegated to the right-hand side of Gmail in such a small space is easier for you. I wish the company would just merge Tasks with Tasks in Chat, but for some reason, these two systems remain separate вЂ“ something Google is good at. You could simply use TaskBoard or Fullscreen for Google Tasks, but I prefer the vanilla experience, to be honest.

Web apps are the future, and a standalone Tasks web app is fast, has the new Workspace logo, a nice, blue top bar, and can be snapped to the left or right side of your window to reduce its white space. I would argue that itвЂ™s the best solution. Besides, some people turn off the Play Store entirely to save on RAM and storage, so having access to Tasks on the web is the only solution. In the past, itвЂ™s added landscape support to its Google Play app version of Tasks, but navigating that with a mouse or installing it on slower Chromebooks doesnвЂ™t always provide a great experience. On my Chromebook, I had to use the embed URL in order to pull it up because typing the direct link would produce a 404 error, but after I turned it into an icon using the embed, it worked flawlessly.

For some reason, typing in doesnвЂ™t work until after the first URL is in your cache, and only on Windows PCs for me. To get started, just type the following into the Chrome Omnibox:, or click the link above. You can actually utilize Google Tasks as its own standalone web application, and you can even turn it into its own app icon on your Chromebook or desktop for easier access. Most users believe this is no longer possible, and while this may seem like a relatively simple thing to write about, Google just doesnвЂ™t advertise it.

ItвЂ™s convenient when youвЂ™re attempting to drag and drop emails into it to create tasks or to manage your tasks, calendar events, or notes alongside your new Gmail items, but what about those times when you just want to look at your Google Tasks by themselves? Sadly, thereвЂ™s just one huge, glaring issue with this sidebar, and thatвЂ™s the sidebar itself.
