Good task management is about getting the right things done at the right time without anything falling through the cracks. In Agdir, tasks are organized based on weather windows, field status, and resources. Checklists ensure quality, automatic journaling saves time, and priorities update dynamically as conditions change. The result is better structure, fewer oversights, and safer execution—especially useful when teams span generations or include seasonal workers.

Task Management as a System – Not Just To-Do Lists‍

Agdir’s task system is integrated with all other modules: weather windows influence priorities, task completion updates journals and inventory, and history builds learning for better planning. In this way, tasks become workflows that both guide today’s work and document for the future.

‍

Three Levels of Task Management

• Strategic Level (season planning)
  Overarching tasks and milestones throughout the growing season based on crop, weather history, and experience.
• Tactical Level (weekly planning)
  Detailed tasks for the upcoming week based on weather windows, field status, and resources.
• Operational Level (daily execution)
  Prioritized tasks with checklists and instructions that ensure quality and documentation.

‍

How Weather-Driven Prioritization Works

• Automatic Sorting
  Tasks that can be carried out in today’s weather windows receive higher priority than those that must wait.
• Dynamic Reprioritization
  When weather changes, task priorities adjust automatically and users are notified of changes.
• Alternative Planning
  The system suggests alternative tasks when the main plan cannot be executed due to weather conditions.
• Resource Optimization
  Tasks are coordinated so that machinery and staff are used optimally in favorable weather windows.

‍

Task Types and Handling

• Critical Tasks (cannot be postponed)
  Spraying in the last weather window, acute disease treatment, machine breakdowns halting operations.
• Planned Tasks (flexible timing)
  Routine maintenance, counting, reporting, and minor adjustments.
• Weather-Based Tasks (condition dependent)
  Spraying, fertilizing, sowing, and harvesting requiring specific weather conditions.
• Learning Tasks (competence development)
  Training, courses, and skill-building activities that can be scheduled around other priorities.

‍

Quality Assurance Through Checklists

• Before Start (pre-checks)
  Verify equipment, weather, inventory, and HSE conditions before beginning the task.
• During Execution (process checks)
  Monitor doses, speed, coverage, and other critical parameters along the way.
• After Completion (post-checks)
  Verify results, clean up, document, and report any deviations.
• Learning and Improvement
  Evaluate task execution and identify improvement opportunities.

‍

Automatic Documentation and Integration

• Journal Updates
  When tasks are closed, the journal updates automatically with action data and weather context.
• Inventory Deductions
  Material consumption is recorded automatically based on task definition and actual execution.
• Cost Tracking
  Task costs are calculated and allocated to the correct fields and accounts.
• History Building
  Task history is used to improve future estimates and planning.

‍

Mobile Use and Field Integration

• Offline Functionality
  Tasks can be executed without internet connection and synchronized later.
• GPS Integration
  Tasks are automatically linked to geographic positions for better traceability.
• Camera Documentation
  Photos can easily be added to tasks for better documentation and follow-up.
• Real-Time Updates
  Status changes synchronize immediately to all users and planning systems.

‍

Team Coordination and Responsibility Sharing

• Clear Responsibility
  Each task has one responsible person—not a team or “someone.”
• Dependency Handling
  Tasks that must be done in sequence or simultaneously are coordinated automatically.
• Escalation on Delays
  Automatic alerts when critical tasks are not completed within deadlines.
• Backup Planning
  Alternative persons and methods are defined for critical tasks.

‍

‍

Reporting and Follow-Up

• Daily Progress
  Overview of completed, ongoing, and delayed tasks with causes and consequences.
• Weekly Evaluation
  Review of task execution and identification of improvement areas.
• Seasonal Analysis
  Comprehensive evaluation of task management with learning points for the next season.
• Benchmarking
  Compare task efficiency against previous years and similar operations.

‍

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can tasks be changed along the way?
  Yes, tasks can be adjusted when conditions change, but changes are logged for traceability.

‍

• What happens to the journal if tasks aren’t completed?
  Unfinished critical tasks are flagged for manual follow-up and documentation.

‍

• Can we use our own checklists?
  Yes, checklists can be customized for specific procedures and requirements.

‍

• Does the system work for seasonal workers?
  Yes, tasks can be simplified with detailed instructions for less experienced users.
