Tuesday’s meeting made four decisions. Everyone nodded. By Friday there are three versions of two of them, one has quietly become someone else’s job, and the fourth has vanished entirely, to be re-decided next Tuesday with equal confidence.
Small teams treat this as a personality problem. It is not. It is a home problem: the decisions had nowhere to live, so they lived in memory, and memory has other hobbies.
A home with columns
Our team tasks template is a finished tracker: boards, cards, assignees, due dates, done. The boring machinery every big company buys, sized for a team of five who will never sit through a project management webinar. Claim it free, name it after the team, and the Tuesday decisions become cards with names on them before the kettle boils.
Because it installs on phones, the board is in pockets, not behind a login somebody bookmarked wrong. The overdue card shames its owner gently from the home screen.
Shape it to how your team actually works
Every team runs slightly differently, which is where the chat comes in. Add a today view of everyone’s tasks. Add priorities. Give cards colour labels. You describe the way your team thinks, and the app rearranges itself to match, a sentence at a time.
Next Tuesday, when someone says “didn’t we decide this already?”, there will, for the first time, be somewhere to point.
