The 3 Roles Your Project Tool Should Support (But Probably Doesn’t)

Project management tools aren’t just about organizing tasks—they’re meant to help diverse teams collaborate smoothly, respecting different mindsets, roles, and responsibilities.

Yet, here’s the issue: most tools cater to just one type of user.

You’ve probably felt this frustration. Maybe your team lead spends late nights customizing complex dashboards. Perhaps your designers are overwhelmed by multiple layers of Jira epics and sprints. Or your founder is simply looking for clear, affordable insights but finds reporting hidden behind premium pricing.

There are generally three core roles critical to successful projects:

Deliverers – Those who execute the tasks.
Coordinators – Those who manage team flow.
Strategic Leaders – Those who make high-level decisions.

Most tools don’t adequately support all three. Here’s what each role truly needs and how Taskboard uniquely addresses these needs.

1. Deliverers: The People Doing the Work


Who they are: Designers, writers, developers, marketers—anyone actively performing daily tasks.

What they need:

  • Simple, intuitive UI.
  • Quick task updates.
  • Instant access to comments, files, and labels.
  • Zero learning curve.

Typical problems:

  • Jira is complex and overwhelming.
  • Asana buries them in unnecessary details.
  • Trello lacks essential structure and integrations.

How Taskboard solves this:

  • Clean, easy-to-use Kanban boards.
  • Inline editing, quick comments, and seamless file attachments without switching tabs.
  • Built-in, effortless time tracking.
  • A fast, fluid experience on all devices.

“Taskboard feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone who just wants to finish tasks quickly, without jumping through hoops.”

2. Coordinators: Those Keeping Teams Aligned



Who they are: Project managers, team leads, operational staff—those constantly asking, “Are we on track?”

What they need:

  • Real-time team visibility.
  • Flexible, adaptable workflows.
  • Easy communication without multiple notifications.
  • Tools that don’t require constant maintenance.

Typical problems:

  • Trello struggles with multiple projects.
  • Asana demands extensive setup and maintenance.
  • Jira requires expert setup and constant adjustments.

How Taskboard solves this:

  • Real-time, automatic board updates.
  • Flexible, easily editable workflows (columns, tags, filters).
  • Built-in time tracking for immediate insights.
  • Easy-to-use filters and views based on team members, priorities, or project phases.

Lead your project effortlessly, without being bogged down by the tool itself.

3. Strategic Leaders: Clarity Without Complexity


Who they are: Founders, department heads, product owners, executives—those making strategic decisions based on operational insights.

What they need:

  • A clear, high-level project view.
  • Immediate access to vital statistics and progress metrics.
  • Affordable scalability.

Typical problems:

  • Paywalled reports and roadmap views.
  • Complex, cluttered dashboards.
  • Hidden fees and per-user pricing models.

How Taskboard solves this:

  • Integrated roadmap views linking tasks to broader objectives.
  • Direct access to essential metrics: task counts, logged hours, overdue tasks—all without additional fees.
  • Transparent, flat pricing—everyone has full feature access.
  • Real-time, reliable data without waiting for custom reports.

Taskboard provides clear insights, not endless complications.

Why Do Most Tools Fail?

Most tools focus on one user persona:

  • Jira caters mostly to engineers.
  • Asana and Monday are PM-centric.
  • Trello suits freelancers and startups but struggles at scale.

However, real teams are multi-dimensional—doers, managers, and decision-makers need distinct support within the same tool.
