ÖÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ· º TASKMASTER º ÓÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĽ TASKMASTER is a support tool for any computer user who must deal with a number of different tasks, keep track of them, and eventually report their status to someone else. The tasks are the central focus of task master. TASKMASTER lets you record the things you have to do, keep track of who make the request(demand) and record the assignment of the task. If you are a manager, you may not personally respond to each request. You may delegate the task to someone else. TASKMASTER lets you record the assignee for each task and then track tasks by assignee. While Taskmaster lets you record and track tasks, its purpose is to report. Its not enough that you do your job well, you have to tell people that you're doing it well. Taskmaster lets you print out reports showing the completed tasks. This report can cover the period you specify and it can create different pages for each client or user. It lets you tell them in writing what you've done for them.
