Shared team task board for school departments

Email threads aren't a task board. Spreadsheets aren't either. Teacher Task Manager gives school departments and working groups a proper shared task board: assign tasks to staff, track completion and communicate in real time, all in one place.

Teams are available on the Pro plan · £3.49/month or £34.99/year
