Work in Kato

Organize tasks

Turn work into clear tasks with owners, priorities, due dates, and useful statuses.

Updated July 30, 2026

Tasks work best when the next action, owner, and current state are obvious. Kato keeps those details close to the meetings and records that created the work.

Create a useful task

Give the task a short, action-oriented title. Then add:

  • An assignee who owns the next step.
  • A status that reflects what is actually happening.
  • A due date when timing matters.
  • A priority when the task competes with other work.
  • A linked record or meeting when someone will need the surrounding context.

Use statuses consistently

Keep the workflow small enough that everyone understands it. A simple Todo → In progress → Completed flow is often enough to start.

Add a blocked or review status only when the team has a clear agreement about what it means and who should act next.

Review work as a team

Use list or board views depending on the question you are asking. Lists are useful for scanning detail; boards make flow and bottlenecks easier to see.

Review overdue and blocked work regularly rather than relying on task creation alone.
