Communication is a key element of effective task management and central within Kitovu. We love the notifications system within Kitovu, and hope you do to. The notifications system lets users know when their team-mates have added a comment, completed, closed or snoozed...
We understand organisational data, including tasks are important and valuable. During the last several months a few of our customers have asked us how secure their data is. Kitovu does have very secure and robust systems in place for securing our customers data. But...
One thing that becomes apparent when working on tasks for different clients or projects is that you often need to reference or link different tasks together. Sometimes there might be information on one task that is relevant to others or a newer version of the task...
Have you ever got a call from a client and not been able to help out because the person handling that client was on leave? In the process of setting up our payment gateway and banking here at Kitovu I've been communicating with one of Australia's "Top 4" banks. I'm...
A key area that we considered when developing Kitovu was to deliberately not focus on building a system that was only useful for techno people. When it comes to task management software the IT industry were generally the early adopters. A lot of organisations probably...
Kitovu was purpose made for organisations that need to manage tasks for “client work”. We took the advice of eating our own dogfood when building Kitovu. We had consulting clients that we need to manage tasks for, so that is what we built. We found that many other...

When our team was consulting for clients, had Gantt Chart software and I did use it ‘once’, okay maybe twice or three times. But I found it was too time cumbersome and really never used it after that. We paid $50 a month for years and just never used the software....
Whenever we have used task or project management systems in the past one of the biggest issues we have found is dealing with clutter. If your team is anything like ours there is always an endless list of things to do, or things you want to do. But you know these task...
Occasionally when managing your tasks you might want to keep a task to yourself or share it with only specific people. So we included a private task function in Kitovu to cater for just these situations. When we were discussing the private task idea with the team at...
When we were developing the online task management system, Kitovu it became apparent that being able to add files or attachments to tasks would be an important function that many users would make use of on a pretty regular basis. So we wanted to make adding files as...
Over many years we have worked with many different 'task tracking' systems. These have ranged from simple to-do lists through to powerful and complex IT bug tracking systems. One of the most contentious areas of task management is workflow. Many people have different...
