Task Tracking

Task tracking is a systematic approach to managing and monitoring work items, typically in software development or project management contexts. It involves creating, assigning, prioritizing, and updating tasks to ensure projects stay on schedule and team members are aligned. Common tools include issue trackers, kanban boards, and to-do lists that visualize progress and dependencies.
