How Tasks Work in Enforcium

What are Tasks?

Tasks in Enforcium are work items that help teams turn goals, metrics, and operational plans into concrete actions.

Tasks can be created independently or linked to an Objective or KPI. This helps teams see what work needs to be done and what result each Task is meant to support.

For example, a Head of Marketing may have the following KPI:

KPI: Publish 12 SEO articles this month

Instead of keeping a separate task list in another tool, the team can create related Tasks:

→ Conduct keyword research

→ Prepare 12 content briefs

→ Write the articles

→ Conduct an SEO review

→ Publish the content

This creates a clear distinction:

KPIs show what needs to be achieved. Tasks show what the team is doing to achieve it.

1. How Tasks are organized

Tasks are displayed on a Kanban board and automatically grouped by status:

  • Inbox — the Task has been created, but work has not started yet.
  • In Progress — the Task is currently being worked on.
  • Blocked — work cannot continue because of a blocker.
  • In Review — the work has been completed and is waiting for review or approval.
  • Done — the Task has been successfully completed.
  • Canceled — the Task is no longer required.
  • Failed — the Task was not completed with the expected result.

The number of Tasks in each status is displayed directly in the column header.

This gives teams a quick overview of where work stands:

  • what has not started
  • what is in progress
  • what is blocked
  • what has already been completed

2. My, Company, and position-based Tasks

At the top of the Tasks section, you can switch between different views.

My shows the Tasks you are personally involved in.

Company lets you view Tasks across the company.

Position-based tabs let you view work associated with a specific role in the organization.

For example, a Head of Marketing can move from their own Tasks to the wider team or company context without creating separate boards for each level.

3. How to create a Task

Click New Task.

Screenshot

When creating a Task, you can specify:

  • Task — the name of the Task;
  • Objective/KPI — the Objective or KPI the Task is linked to;
  • Description — what needs to be done and what result is expected;
  • Priority — High, Medium, or Low;
  • Status — the current status of the Task;
  • Ownership — participant roles based on the RACI model;
  • Timeline — the period for completing the Task;
  • Repeat — recurrence settings for regular Tasks.

Once you have filled in the required fields, click Create Task.

A Task can be linked to a specific Objective or KPI.

To do this, open the Objective/KPI field when creating the Task and select the relevant result from the list.

Screenshot

For example:

Example
Objective
Increase qualified inbound pipeline
KPI
Generate 100 qualified inbound leads
Task
Launch landing page for the new campaign

This creates a clear connection:

Objective / KPI → Team execution

This is particularly useful for managers. Instead of keeping separate lists for "our goals" and "what the team is working on," they can see how the two are connected.

A Task does not have to be linked to an Objective or KPI. You can also create standalone Tasks for operational work.

5. How Priority works

Each Task can have one of three priority levels:

  • High — high priority
  • Medium — medium priority
  • Low — low priority
Screenshot

Priority helps teams distinguish critical work from Tasks that can wait.

For example, before a new product launch, a team may need to fix a critical checkout issue and update an internal presentation. Both Tasks may be relevant, but their priorities are different.

6. How Ownership and RACI work

Each Task can have participants assigned according to the RACI model:

R — Responsible

The person who directly performs the work.

A — Accountable

The person responsible for the final outcome.

C — Consulted

People who need to be consulted during the work.

I — Informed

People who need to be kept informed about the progress or result.

Screenshot

For example, for the Task Launch new pricing page:

Example
Responsible
Product Designer
Accountable
Head of Marketing
Consulted
Product Manager
Informed
CEO

This means the team can see what role each person has in the Task.

How to quickly see your role in a Task

Enforcium visually highlights your own RACI role with a blue border around your avatar.

Screenshot

For example, if you are Responsible for a Task, your avatar next to R will be highlighted in blue.

Hover over a participant to see additional information about them and their role.

Screenshot

This makes it easy to answer:

“What exactly is expected of me in this Task?”

This is especially useful when a Task involves multiple Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed participants.

7. How to set a Timeline

You can set a start date and deadline for each Task.

For example:

01.09.2026 → 07.09.2026

The calendar also includes Quick select options for choosing common time periods, such as:

Today, +7 days, and +14 days.

Important: If the deadline has passed and the Task has not been completed, the Task card displays Overdue along with the number of days overdue.

Screenshot

8. How recurring Tasks work

For regular work, you can make a Task recurring using the Repeat field.

For example:

  • Weekly marketing metrics review
  • Monthly financial forecast update
  • Regular management report preparation

The available recurrence options depend on the period set between the Task's start date and deadline.

This means you do not have to manually create the same operational Tasks every time they need to be completed.

9. How Search, Filters, and Sort work

As the number of Tasks grows, you can use Search, Filters, and Sort to find and organize your work.

Screenshot

Use Search to find a specific Task by name.

Filters can also be used to select an OKR/Metric target and show only Tasks linked to a specific Objective or KPI.

Screenshot

For example, a Head of Marketing can select the KPI Social Content Published to see the work connected to that metric.

Tasks can be sorted by:

  • Priority — by priority
  • Responsible — by person responsible
  • Goals — by linked goals
  • Manual — by custom order

You can also choose Ascending or Descending order.

10. How to read a Task card

The main Task information is visible directly on the card, without opening the Task.

A Task card shows:

Task ID → deadline status → Task name → RACI participants

Screenshot

If multiple people are assigned to the same RACI role, some participants may be grouped under +N.

This gives managers a quick overview of who is involved and whether a Task has a deadline issue without having to open each Task individually.

Tasks show the work behind your goals, processes, and responsibilities.

For example, a Product Manager is preparing a new feature for launch. The work involves several Tasks:

  • finalizing the design
  • completing development
  • preparing release notes
  • updating the help documentation

Each Task has its own owner, deadline, and status.

When these Tasks are linked to the relevant Process and Positions, the team can see:

  • which Tasks belong to the process
  • who owns each part
  • what is still left to do

Enforcium brings these connections together:

Objective → KPI → Task → Ownership → Execution

So a Task can be tied to the goal, process, and person responsible for getting the work done.
