What is project and task management software?
Project and task management is how a team plans work, assigns it, and tracks it to delivery. BusinessHRM offers boards, lists, calendar and Gantt views with time tracked on every task, so planned and actual effort sit side by side instead of in two different tools.
What BusinessHRM does about it
BusinessHRM puts planning and tracking on the same task. Teams see work as boards, lists, a calendar, or a Gantt chart, break projects into milestones with dependencies, and every task carries its own timer, so estimates versus actuals are always one click away. Comments, files, and mentions keep context on the work instead of in an inbox, and clients can be invited to just the projects that concern them while budget and burn surface overruns early.
Why teams go looking for projects and tasks
- 01Planning and time tracking are strangersTasks live in a project tool and hours in a tracker, so nobody can compare what a job was estimated to take against what it actually took.
- 02Status lives in someone's headWithout shared boards, progress is reconstructed in status meetings, and dependencies only reveal themselves when they slip.
- 03Clients and teams work off different truthsUpdates get copied into email and decks, so the client version and the team version drift apart until a deadline forces a reckoning.
The same work, every way your team looks at it
Switch between views without moving anything. The phone app shows the same boards and deadlines.
Every project and how far along it is
Members, deadlines, clients and a progress bar for each project, so the portfolio fits on one screen.
A calendar for what is coming
Meetings, reviews and due dates laid out by day, shared across the team.
At-risk projects, flagged on the phone
The Android app lists projects with progress bars and at-risk flags, so a manager between meetings still knows where to look.
Due dates in your pocket
A month view of everything due, on Android from 20 October and iOS soon.
Bring one live project across and run it for a week
Start free, recreate one project with its milestones and team, and put a timer on the tasks. By Friday you will have estimates and actuals side by side.
How projects and tasks works
How a project moves through BusinessHRM
From the deal that starts it to the invoice that closes it, the project never changes tools.
- 1
Start
Start from a template or a won deal
Repeat work starts from a project template. Client work can start from an accepted estimate in the CRM, with scope and budget already set.
- 2
Plan
Set milestones, dependencies and budget
Break the work into milestones, link dependent tasks on the Gantt roadmap, and set hourly rates and a budget to burn against.
- 3
Do
Work the board, with a timer on every task
Subtasks, checklists, labels and recurring tasks on boards with your own columns. Comments and mentions keep the discussion on the task.
- 4
Deliver
Report, share and bill
Clients follow progress in their portal, status reports go out from the project, and tracked hours move to an invoice.
What you get with Projects & Tasks
Included on every plan, including the free Starter plan for unlimited users.
Boards, lists, calendar and Gantt
See work the way each team prefers. Multiple boards with custom columns, and you switch views without moving anything.
Milestones and dependencies
Break projects into milestones, set dependencies, and keep delivery dates honest on a roadmap.
Time tracked per task
Every task carries its own timer, so estimates versus actuals are always one click away.
Comments and files
Discussions, attachments, and mentions keep context on the task instead of in someone's inbox.
Client and team access
Invite clients to the projects that concern them, with per-project permissions that keep the rest private.
Budgets and burn
Track hours and budget against each project so overruns surface early, not at invoicing.
Set up the week's work in a sentence
Ask the in-app assistant what is due. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through MCP and it can create and update tasks for you.
- In-app AI chat
"Which tasks on the Website Redesign project are overdue?"
- In-app AI chat
"What is due for me this week?"
- Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor via MCP
"Create a task on the Website Redesign project for Fatima to review the homepage copy, due Friday."
- Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor via MCP
"Which projects are over 80 percent of their budget, and who is on them?"
Example prompts. The in-app chat answers questions and does not change records. Creating and updating records with AI happens through the MCP server, with the permissions of the person who connected it.
What changes once it is running
- Estimates that get sharperWith actual time on every task, each project makes the next quote more accurate instead of another guess.
- Status without the status meetingShared boards show where work stands, so updates happen on the task rather than in another meeting.
- Catch overruns before invoicingLive budget and burn mean a project going over surfaces while you can still act, not at the end.
Who it is for
- Agencies and client teamsDelivery teams that bill by the project and need hours and scope in the same place.
- Software and product teamsEngineers who want lightweight boards where tracking time is a click, not a chore.
- Ops and delivery leadsManagers who need one honest view of progress, budget, and effort across every project.
Software this replaces
Get projects and tasks without paying for a separate tool, and keep the rest of your business attached.

Projects & Tasks questions, answered
Can I see estimated versus actual time on a task?
Yes. Every task has its own timer, so tracked time sits next to the estimate and each project sharpens the next quote.
Which project views are available?
You can work in boards, lists, a calendar, or a Gantt timeline, and switch views without moving anything to another tool.
Can clients see their projects?
Yes. Invite clients to specific projects through the client portal, while everything else stays private to your team.
Are there project templates and recurring tasks?
Yes. Project templates start repeat work pre-built, and recurring tasks are created on the schedule you set.
Does project time flow into billing?
Yes. Time tracked on tasks becomes billable hours you can invoice, so delivery and finance work from the same numbers.
