Team task management is like project management.
It involves more people, more complicated workand a greater scope. It has higher requirements for communication and collaboration and the overall tempo is faster.
The following Lark best practices can help you clarify and break down your goals into detailed tasks to be implemented by specific people. This will help you strengthen communication and improve the team's task management efficiency.
📌 Use OKRs to reak own oals
| Set feasible goals with measurable results
Tasks are meant to support and achieve a goal. Therefore, before focusing on specific projects and tasks, we need to make sure that the team members have a clear understanding of the overall goal. This way, they can work in a targeted manner. Objectives & Key Results (OKR) is an effective tool that can help you achieve goals and promotes implementation and cooperation.
Here, Objectives are the goals the team wants to accomplish and Key Results are a series of important measurable results that can be used to evaluate whether an objective has been achieved.
Create an OKR file that clearly and concisely lists the objectives for the team in the current stage and the corresponding key results. For example:
At ByteDance, everyone from the CEO on down creates their own bi-monthly OKR plans and uses them to guide their work. At the end of every two months, employees and teams carefully evaluate and review their OKR plans and adjust and calibrate the direction of their work.

In addition to marking the times of key stages on the project calendar, you can use task project charts or Gantt charts to show the detailed progress of each task. These charts should be updated by the task leaders.
- •Create a Gantt project chart to track the progress of each task over time. You can select the Gantt Chart template from Docs template library.
This way, team admins can fully understand the progress of the work and team members can see the actual progress of each sub-task, facilitating cooperation and collaboration.
