Roost is a to-do platform on Teamnest.com to help you take control of your work. You can see tasks assigned to you by different team members with due dates and priorities. You can break down tasks into sub-tasks and assign them to relevant team members. You can collaborate with team members on a task by leaving notes or uploading documents.
You and your team members can create tasks under ‘Buckets’. A bucket could be a project, a milestone, or any other high-level goal that you would like to group a set of tasks by. You can view the progress of the Bucket to analyse completion vis-a-vis the deadlines.
