Richer task model with ownership, deadlines, and importance grade
Extend tasks with due dates, importance, owners, custom tags, and due date history to support full end-to-end task tracking.
Added
Due date for each task to make deadlines explicit and visible.
Importance grade to prioritize what matters most in each board or project.
Owner field so every task has a clear person responsible for driving it to completion.
Unlimited custom tags to categorize and group tasks flexibly (e.g. feature, bug, client, area).
Change history for due dates to track how and when deadlines evolve over time.
Behavior
Tasks are no longer just “done” or “not done”: they now carry context about when they should be completed, how important they are, who owns them, and how they’re categorized.
The due date history makes shifts in planning transparent, helping understand how work and priorities change.
Combined with the fixed Completed column in Kanban, this provides visibility across the entire task lifecycle: from creation and prioritization to ownership, scheduling, and completion.
Benefits
End-to-end task control: every task has enough metadata to be tracked, owned, and delivered reliably.
Better prioritization: importance grades and due dates make it easier to decide what to tackle next.
Clear accountability: owners remove ambiguity about who is responsible for each piece of work.
Deeper insights: tags and due date history enable better reporting, filtering, and future analytics on how work flows through the system.
