MeisterTask simply keeps us on track
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use MeisterTask to manage vendor onboarding/offloading and other projects with repetitve steps so that our team knows where the project is on the timeline and who is responsible for each portion. With the automated checklists we are sure to hit every step necessary to properly complete the project.
Pros
- Notifies personnel when something is added to the project
- Streamlines processes through automated checklists
- Not overwhelming with setup steps - simplicity of managing the project
Cons
- I would love the ability to assign steps in a task to a person rather than the whole task being assigned.
- Would like to be able to organize my home page to pin the tasks that are important to me
Return on Investment
- Less steps missed in the process - more effective
- Less time taken chasing down where the project is implementation.

Getting on track with your to-do's and projects with MeisterTask
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used MeisterTask as part of courses wherein students need to learn to work as marketeers and also undertake project management. This tool is being used to allow the students to learn to work with deadlines and multiple tasks and projects to help support agile ways of working with in school.
Pros
- visually clearly to distinguish tasks
- simple tracking
- creating projects and todo's right out of MindMeister
Cons
- with checklist item show a progress counter on the task card
- possibility to make columns smaller, now one needs to scroll when one had more than 4 columns
Most Important Features
- almost no learning curve
- data storage and cloud in Europe
- integration with ideation/ mindmapping tool MindMeister
Return on Investment
- It allows to optimize project management & collaboration with team, hence saving time
- smart workflow integrations such as timetracking making other tools redundant

Manage my work in an orderly and simple way.
Pros
- The learning curve is really short compared to other software that is related to this.
- It is very easy to manage several projects at the same time, thus saving time in the work process.
- Managing the elements of the list is very comfortable since its interface allows everything to work in an orderly manner based on what I want to put as important for me.
- It has versions that are adapted to any type of company or if you want to give a personal use because it also has an option based on what you want to do with MeisterTask.
Cons
- Based on the prices offered there is a large gap between these since each version has different characteristics with respect to the other, sometimes it is a bit difficult to choose.
- After loading a file into a task it cannot be downloaded immediately, this happens since MeisterTask is not really optimized since it must process very slowly the file inside the cloud storage it has.
- It would be nice if there was a calendar that shows in detail when a task has been scheduled and visually appealing when the task is finished.
Return on Investment
- We have reduced administrative expenses since the projects were managed in an archaic way and we had to have personnel to only manage the projects and tasks.
