Given the Todoist Now with over 30 million users, there are probably quite a few people among your friends, family, and colleagues who use Todoist to keep track of their personal and professional tasks. And yet, Todoist has never taken off as a project management tool in the workspace.
Other companies working on sophisticated task tracking and project management services like Asana, Monday and Atlassian They have really cornered this part of the enterprise software industry. But Todoist does not give up and launches a new way of managing tasks at work. This new feature has been in beta for a while and 5,000 teams have been testing it. Today, the company is rolling it out to everyone.
Unlike some of the competitors I mentioned above, Todoist really focuses on small and medium-sized businesses. For example, Doist, the company behind Todoist, uses it with a team of 100 employees working in more than 35 countries.
Todoist team workspaces work a bit like Notion workspaces. When you join a company, you join their workspace with all existing content linked to this workspace. As a new employee, if you were already using Todoist, this new workspace will appear as a second workspace, completely separate from your personal space with your personal tasks and projects.
Within the team workspace, you'll find projects that work a bit like Slack channels. They can be public projects (anyone can join them) or private projects with only specific employees able to view those projects. Projects can also be sorted into folders.
Finally, in each project, you can see a list of tasks and use all the team-related features that were already available in Todoist. For example, you can comment on tasks, add files, and view the team's activity stream by project or team member.
Todoist is now also creating unique links to tasks, projects, sections, and comments so you can share tasks and projects in your other communication tools.
Individual users can now use filters to see all of their Todoist tasks in today or upcoming view. Or they can choose to view only personal or work-related tasks. Unlike other productivity tools, you don't need to switch workspaces to see all relevant content.
In addition to free accounts, Todoist offers a premium subscription for individual users who want more features for $4 per month. Enterprise subscriptions with teamwork spaces cost $6 per user per month.
Since Todoist is used by millions of people, the company didn't want to change things for its individual customers. So if your company doesn't use Todoist's new teamwork space features, nothing will change.
