Abstract
In the context of digital transformation and the spread of remote work, task management is becoming an important factor in the productivity of small teams. Today, there are many digital tools for managing projects and tasks. However, their diversity and differences in functionality create the problem of choosing the most effective solutions for small teams. Insufficient adaptation of tools to the specifics of the work of small teams can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of interaction, fragmentation of work processes and irrational use of time. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using task management tools in small teams. It is important to identify some of the reasons that may affect the success of their implementation in work, as well as their further application in work. This article analyzes some scientific journals and publications that relate to the organization of a team in companies or small groups of people. We've looked at different approaches to how tasks are managed. Agile methodologies, modern platforms for project management and systems that track working hours, were most often used. Today, these tools are used in most teams to properly organize people, as well as monitor the completion of tasks.
The analysis conducted in this article shows that the use of task management platforms has a positive effect on the effectiveness of teams in various fields of activity. They make it much easier to track and coordinate work with tasks and their effectiveness. However, there are some problems at first. With a high number of people in the team, or incompetence using new technologies can lead to inefficient use of these tools.
The practical significance of the research lies in the formation of recommendations on the selection and implementation of task management tools that can increase teamwork productivity, optimize resource allocation and shorten project deadlines. The results obtained can be useful for managers of small teams and startups. They can also be used in the work of digital agencies and individual entrepreneurs. In addition, these findings can be used by specialists who work in distributed or remote teams.
