What are Recurring Tasks and Why Use Them?

Recurring tasks allows you to automate routine tasks and save time. By setting up recurring tasks, you can ensure that tasks are completed on a regular basis, without having to manually create a new task every time. Recurring tasks can be used for a variety of purposes, such as scheduling regular meetings, sending weekly reports, or performing routine maintenance tasks.

Using recurring tasks can help improve team productivity by reducing the time spent on manual task creation and ensuring that tasks are completed on time. Recurring tasks can also help reduce errors and inconsistencies by ensuring that tasks are completed in the same way every time.

Recurring tasks can be used to organize standup meetings and updates with remote teams. Here’s an example of how to use recurring tasks for standup meetings:

1. Create a recurring task for the standup meeting and set the frequency to daily or weekly.

2. Assign the task to the team members who need to attend the meeting.

3. Set the task to repeat based on the due date or completion date.

4. Use Weekplan’s commenting feature to discuss the meeting agenda and action items.

By using recurring tasks for standup meetings, you can ensure that team members are on the same page and that meetings are held regularly. This is especially useful for remote teams, as it helps maintain consistent communication and collaboration.
