What is Open Space in Task Manager?
Open Space adds a light layer of gamification to Task Manager: your character earns points for completed tasks and meeting due dates, while the office has its own leaderboard. Points are earned from the work you already do - with no extra forms and no requirement to take part.
How does it work?
- 01
You complete a task on time - your character earns points.
- 02
The points contribute to a leaderboard visible to the team.
- 03
Everything happens in the background, based on your normal work in the software.
- 04
The feature is an optional extra, not a requirement for using Task Manager.
What do you gain?
Light-touch motivation: completing tasks has a visible effect.
No extra work: there is nothing to fill in, and points are calculated automatically.
A positive atmosphere: it is a fun feature, not an appraisal system.
An everyday example
The customer service team introduced a weekly leaderboard. Completing support requests on time became visible, and outstanding threads stopped being left until Friday.
