Kanban Workflow Optimization with Hypertasks
In today’s world we need to optimise our workflow to stay productive and ahead of the game. Enter Hypertasks - the new project management tool that simplifies your workflow and boosts efficiency. Let’s dive in and see how Hypertasks can transform your workflow and take your productivity to the next level.
The Hypertasks Advantage: A New Way of Workflow
Hypertasks isn’t just another project management tool. It’s a whole new way of thinking about tasks, communication and project organisation. Here’s how Hypertasks is different:
1. Kanban Zero
At the heart of Hypertasks is the concept of “Kanban Zero” - a state where your board is lean, organised and focused on doable tasks. This means:
Regular cleaning and organisation of your tasks
Focus on current, actionable items
Reduced cognitive load and clarity
To achieve Kanban Zero Hypertasks has an archive function. With a single keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+E on Windows or Cmd+E on Mac) you can archive completed or deprioritised tasks and keep your board clean and relevant.
2. Keyboard First Navigation for Super Fast Workflow
Hypertasks is keyboard first, so you can navigate and manage tasks without ever touching your mouse. This approach has several benefits:
Faster task management
More focus and less distraction
More efficient complex actions
Some key shortcuts to supercharge your workflow:
'J' and 'K' to move tasks
'CTRL + K' to open Hypertasks Command Centre (HTC)
'/' for global search
'SHIFT + F' for advanced filtering
3. AI
Hypertasks uses AI:
AI editing: Access AI functions through the forward slash (/) menu in the comment editor
AI summaries: Get the gist of complex tasks or discussions
4. Project Management is Communication
Hypertasks has an inbox designed for project communication:
One place for all project related conversations
Auto-Splits for easy message categorisation
Contextual conversations tied to tasks or projects
