Casual Project Management

Task groups in Casual allow users to organize related tasks or decompose complex tasks. Users can convert individual tasks into groups or select multiple tasks and group them. Double clicking a group opens it to view and manage the nested tasks. Progress of tasks within a group is indicated by a colored line and numbers showing the status of tasks. Really complex projects may involve multiple nested task groups.

Task groups In Casual
When managing complex projects you can decompose complex tasks or gather relevant tasks together by using Task Groups.
Any task can be converted to a group by pressing Convert to group button. Or press the right mouse button and select the same option in context menu.
To gather multiple tasks into a group you should select them and press the Group tasks button. Or call context menu and choose Group selection.
Double-click a group to open it. Pop-up window can be expanded by double-clicking on a title.
After you converted complex task into a group you can plan a sub-process inside it. The group becomes complete when you complete every task inside it.
A colored line at the bottom of a task group indicates a progress. Numbers show how many tasks in which state are in the group (green is for complete tasks, blue – active, grey – blocked).
Really complex projects may require creating groups inside other groups.
Each group opens inside the same window. To navigate back one level you can click on the arrow near a title of a window.
You can drag tasks into a group or from a group to a project canvas.
If you drag a task over a group and wait a moment, the group will open so you can put a task inside it.
Top-level groups and its contents are displayed in task lists as you see on the picture.
Group is still a task. Change name, write notes, set deadlines, work with files or comments as usual.
