Shape work tracking around your team’s process
ELM Task is an ELWIS-based application for configurable tasks, epics, issues, assignments and other work objects. Teams define fields, relationships and workflows, then choose useful views. Project leads use Gantt timelines for schedules and dependencies, Kanban boards for stages, and filtered lists for queues. Dashboards and reports present work data without imposing one record structure on every team.
