Visibility via collaboration.

• Peer-to-Peer Work Assignments – Every team member can make work assignments and requests to anyone else. As updates occur, team members receive real-time notifications about due dates, issues, status changes, and even percent complete.
• Document Sharing – Documents in any format can be uploaded to projects, tasks, issues, and users in AtTask. Version control and check-in/check-out makes collaboration easy and effective.

Objective-centered planning.

• Real-time Reporting – Standard and custom reporting lets you compare planned vs. actual data, budgets and costs, task turnaround times, and overall team productivity at any given time.
• Streaming Updates – Stay informed about the real story with streaming updates on specific projects and tasks your team is working on. You can provide comments or feedback directly from your stream as well.
• Time Tracking – Easy-to-view timesheets and time-tracking reports let you monitor hours, see exactly where your team spends the most time, track task and request turnaround times, and review your planned vs. actual hours worked.

Data-driven improvement.

• Compliance Auditing – AtTask is a central repository for all project information and can seamlessly create an audit trail to authenticate compliance with corporate standards, eliminating the need for department-specific or patchwork approaches.
