AUGEIP
Research and Information System: Task Manager
Africa cannot escape and hide away
from today's highly globalised world but, it has to find the
most beneficial ways of engaging in, or with it - It can't
keep on relying on methods and formulas which have failed and
left Africa permanently weaker and desperate -

Projects and Personal Deliverables |

|
 |
| Use the Task Manager to
keep track of group and personal action items. |
Use the Task Manager to keep track of personal action items,
or delegate tasks to subordinates or members of a project
team. You can follow the progress of a task from start to
completion, and can view status by owner, project or other
criteria you choose.
The Task Manager allows you to quickly and easily:
- Monitor the status of tasks associated with various
projects
- Assign permissions so that team members only see tasks
that relate to their project
- Synchronize tasks with your Palm® handheld or Microsoft®
Outlook so action items are always at your fingertips
As part of the AUGEIP Online collaboration suite, the Task
Manager is readily available from anywhere in the world using
a simple web browser.
 |
| Task Manager is visible
alongside your Online Calendar events. |
You can use the Task Manager to manage projects and coordinate
deliverables among all members of a department or project
team, to track your own action items. Whether you are in the
office, on the road or working at home, you'll always have
access to the most up-to-date task list.
- Coordinate Remote Project Teams
Create tasks associated with various projects and
categories. Delegate tasks to project team members, while
still monitoring their status. Make the tasks visible to
other team members so the group can track progress. Tasks
may be viewed by authorized team members from anywhere at
any time.
- Manage Multiple Projects
Create multiple projects and view or print only the tasks
associated with a specific project. Assign permissions to
department members, so they see only the tasks that relate
to their project. You can supervise several projects while
protecting the confidentiality of each one.
- Take Control of Your Personal To-Do List
Track personal action items that are private to you.
Synchronize your task list with your Palm® handheld or with
Microsoft® Outlook. Print your task list sorted by project,
category, or delivery date.
- Track Progress to Deliver Results
Because the Task Manager keeps track of deadlines and
reminds you when tasks are coming due, you'll always know
the status of critical deliverables. You'll be able to
monitor tasks at risk, and determine where additional
resources must be invested.
| Task
Manager Features |
Personal
Action Items |
Keep your personal to-do list on your intranet site,
and it will be available from anywhere. Your personal
action items remain private and are visible only to
you. |
Delegate Tasks
to Others |
Create tasks and assign them to others within your
department or project team. The assigned owners update
the status and you can view their progress at any
time. |
Track Status
by Project,
Owner, Date |
Track the progress of all the tasks in a project or
all the deliverables of a single employee. Use the
flexible viewing features to manage all your projects
to successful completion. |
Secure
Permissions |
Decide who has the right to view a task. You can
delegate a task to one member of a project team, and
then grant status viewing rights to members of an
oversight committee. |
Synchronize
with
Palm® and Microsoft® Outlook |
Your action items can be easily synchronized with
your Palm® handheld device or Microsoft® Outlook,
allowing you to take your task list with you wherever
you go. |
Automatic
Task Reminders |
Set automatic reminders to notify yourself - or an
action owner - that a task is coming due. Make sure
projects are moving toward completion on time. |
| Send Link |
Notify users when you make changes to a task or
update the progress status. |
Complete
Integration
The Task Manager is part of the AUGEIP Online
collaboration suite, so it's available anywhere, at
any time, using a convenient web browser. |

Thabo Mbeki, "Our
peoples throughout our continent are determined that we must
advance in decisive manner toward the realisation of the goals
of African political and economic integration and unity - we
have to do this so that we overcome the problems of poverty and
underdevelopment that afflict Africa, impose misery on millions
of Africans, and lead to the global marginalisation of our
continent and its people."
