Task Management Trends Report: Managers vs. Individual Contributors Statistics

1

Trello

This Task Management Trends Report surveyed over 2,000 professionals to analyze how managers and team members are prioritizing and defending their time for focused work across their increasingly busy workweeks, using project management platforms Jira, Asana, Todoist, Trello and ClickUp. We found that only 12.4% of individual contributors are able to dedicate more than 6 hours a day to their actual task work, and only 53.3% of time working on tasks is actually spent on productive work. Managers themselves are struggling to make this a reality for their direct reports, and rank their ability at only 5.3 on a 1-10 scale for being able to minimize distractions and interruptions for their team. The average manager also reported wanting to defend an additional 9.4 hours for each team member every week for task work, freeing them up from distracting meetings and non-priority commitments.
