[ How it works ]

From a task to a dated outcome

Structure it once. Everything reads from it.

  1. 01

    Set the milestone

    A dated outcome the client is waiting on — beta launch, content migration complete — with tasks associated to it.

  2. 02

    Pace it in a sprint

    A fixed window with work in it, for teams that care about throughput over time. Velocity is derived from status categories.

  3. 03

    Track the hours

    Start a timer against the item. Timesheets, billable and unbilled splits, and utilisation all follow from it.

  4. 04

    Automate the repetition

    Workflows handle the when-this-then-that: status changes, assignments, notifications, and webhook calls.

[ In the product ]

Filter down to the work that actually needs you

Every list filters on status, type, priority, assignee, sprint, milestone, and start or due date range, plus a triage flag for anything that arrived without an owner. Select an item and the panel carries its subtasks, dependencies, labels, SLA clock, and logged time.

[ Features ]

The delivery primitives, not a generic ticket queue

Every field feeds reporting downstream.

  • 01

    Custom statuses

    Five ship by default. Rename, recolour, reorder, archive, or add your own.

  • 02

    Types and priorities

    Classify work so the breakdown report tells you something useful.

  • 03

    Views

    Board, list, and per-project views so each team sees its own slice.

  • 04

    Comments and mentions

    Discussion sits on the work item, and mentions notify the right person.

  • 05

    Recurring tasks

    Set a recurrence rule for weekly reports or monthly maintenance instead of recreating them.

  • 06

    Timer security

    Controls that keep tracked time trustworthy enough to invoice from.

[ Capabilities ]

What you get underneath

Modular: switch on only what you need.

SprintsSprints
Timeboxed cycles with velocity derived from status categories, so throughput is comparable sprint to sprint.
MilestonesMilestones
Dated checkpoints that work rolls up to, and that delivery confidence scores against.
TimesheetsTime tracking
Per-person timesheets with billable and unbilled splits, feeding utilisation and invoicing.
Capacity and utilisationReports
Tracked hours against capacity per person — who is stretched and who has room.
SLA targetsSLA Management
Response and resolution deadlines per task, aware of business hours and holidays, with breach alerts before you miss.
[ Modules ]

The modules behind this page.

Worksynk ships as modules a workspace owner switches on under Settings → Modules. Most are off by default even when your plan covers them; pricing shows what each plan includes.

[ Questions ]

Common questions

Is Worksynk an agile project management tool?

Yes. It has sprints with velocity and a burndown, board and list views, and milestones for dated outcomes, so a team can run Scrum-style sprints or a continuous Kanban flow in the same task management system.

Can we keep our own workflow states?

Yes. Five statuses ship by default and you can rename, recolour, reorder, or archive any of them and add your own under Settings → Statuses. Velocity and reporting read from status categories, so the numbers keep working after you change the labels.

Do we have to use both sprints and milestones?

No. Sprints suit teams working to a cadence who care about throughput; milestones suit dated outcomes a client is waiting for. Plenty of teams use one and not the other — both are modules you can leave off.

Is tracked time good enough to invoice from?

That is the intent. Timers run against the work item, timesheets split billable from unbilled, and timer security settings exist specifically to keep the hours honest enough to bill.

What happens to work that repeats?

Set a recurrence rule instead of recreating the task. The next instance appears on schedule, and editing the rule changes future instances rather than the history.

Work items, milestones and sprints finally live in one structure. Our PMs stopped maintaining the spreadsheet that shadowed the tool.
