Solved Need a tool to share tasks with client staff
-
Something like Slack or GitHub's Projects?
-
We've just started using clickup internally. Otherwise I could see spinning up a small nextcloud instance on DO or vultur if you wanted to fully control and manage it.
-
Maybe Asana?

I don't want to maintain it, thus the question.

There are Tasks in Nextcloud. If you have an NC instance anyway, that might work.

So I have a client now where I want to have an editable shared task list for all parties.
The client and us are not on the same platforms (O365 E3 vs O365 Email only vs GSuite vs ZoHo, etc)
Does anyone know of a good tool that would work for this scenario?
We use smart sheets for this..

What about just shared lists in Google keep?

https://tasks.office.com/You can invite external accounts to it too.

Tasks can technically speaking be shared between services that are using the iCal format. Similar to sharing calendars.
But not all services supports sharing tasks. We tried to get google tasks shared with zoho tasks but it was a no go. I think O365 and Google will work though.
Otherwise you have to move everyone to another platform. But whatever tool you select will then require you to set up accounts, add users and what not to get going. And you get a ton of functionality that the users will not need and will make it much more difficult for them.

That is the conclusion I have come to today after researchign things.

Could use gSyncit to move tasks between disparate systems. All systems listed on the left can share tasks except DropBox and SimpleNote. We use it for a few different collaboration requirements, we like it. If a specific app isn't listed, CardDav and CalDav usually work.

Trello. You can see how the Subnautica team used it to show their development. https://trello.com/b/yxoJrFgP/subnautica-development

One team at the client that I needed to do something for immediately was already using ClickUp.
So the principal there decided to expand that use.
Suggestions were helpful.
