- Tasks attached to shifts, not just people
- Reusable checklists for recurring work
- Free for teams up to 10
What you can do
Delegate it, then stop chasing it.
Task management is four separate problems: handing the work out, making it unambiguous, knowing it happened, and not rebuilding the list every week.
Delegate once and watch it move
Hand a job to a person, or to a shift so whoever is working picks it up. Either way it is somebody's, in writing.
- Assign tasks to an employee or to a shift
- Break a bigger job into a checklist of subtasks
- Staff see their to-dos on their own phones
Why it helps
Where the shift usually loses time.
Everyone is aligned
Confusion about who owns what slows down any team. A list attached to the shift removes the question before it gets asked.
Instructions people can follow
Clear instructions are most of what makes people productive and satisfied at work. Write them once, attach them to the job.
Less idle time on the clock
People stall when they do not know what comes next. A visible list means the next thing is always obvious.
Compared to
Against the clipboard and the whiteboard.
Both work fine until the shift ends and the record goes with it.

Task management, answered.
What is task management?
It is the process of identifying a job, handing it to someone, and following it through to completion and review. In a shift business that usually means the recurring work a site needs done during each shift, rather than long-running projects.
Why does task management matter?
It is one of the things that separates a productive team from a merely busy one. It gives people clarity about what is theirs, stops work falling into the gap between two roles, and makes the output of a shift visible instead of assumed.
How do I manage work tasks?
Assign the task to the shift rather than chasing individuals. Whoever is working that shift picks it up when they clock in, and you see the completions without having to ask anyone how it went.
Is Shift Amp good for managing work tasks?
Yes. It is a scheduling and workforce platform first, which means the tasks live next to the shifts they belong to rather than in a separate tool your team has to remember to open.
Can I attach a checklist to a task?
Yes. A task can hold a list of subtasks, so a job like closing down the kitchen is one item on the shift with the actual steps inside it.
Can I reuse the same list every week?
That is what templates are for. Save the recurring work once, apply it to the shifts that need it, and spend your time on the exceptions instead of retyping the routine.
Will my team actually use it?
It sits in the app they already open to check their schedule, which is most of the battle. The tasks for the shift they are currently working are the first thing they see when they clock in.
What does it cost?
Teams of up to 10 are free, forever, and task management is part of that. Past 10 people it is $2 per user, per month for the same platform.

Why status color should never travel alone
Our accessibility rule for shift status: every color pairs with an icon or label, so meaning survives grayscale and color-blindness.
