Getting Things Done for teams in Allegra
With Allegra, your whole team benefits from the proven task-management method Getting Things Done.
Task management with a system
The Getting Things Done method (GTD), created by David Allen, is a time-management and productivity system. It rests on the idea of keeping your head clear by systematically capturing and organising every task and idea, so you can focus on what matters.
- In Allegra, the items you handle are called work items
- Examples are tasks, open items, bug reports, ideas, and customer requests
- You can't directly control the inflow of new items — but you can control how they're handled
The GTD method has five steps
- Capture: Collect every task, idea, and commitment in a trusted system. Nothing stays in your head. In Allegra, newly assigned work items land in your inbox.
- Clarify: Review what you collected and decide what to do: act now, defer it, or delegate it.
- Organise: Sort items into categories — by project, context, or deadline. Define as many custom attributes as you need in Allegra.
- Reflect: Review the system regularly, at least weekly, so everything stays current and nothing is forgotten.
- Engage: Based on the categories, decide what to tackle next — depending on time, energy, and priority.
