Slack’s latest ‘lists’ feature aids in monitoring and organizing work assignments

Slack has introduced a new capability for managing work projects that is now accessible to all subscribed users. This integration enhances work organization within the teamwork platform.

The ‘lists’ attribute, which has been under exclusive testing since its announcement in September 2023, enables teams to manage and synchronize an array of projects – from marketing campaigns or approval procedures to a straightforward list of priorities, according to Slack.

This function of lists operates similarly to specialized and top-notch work handling applications in the industry. Each list comprises rows of task “elements,” along with columns of details on aspects such as assignee, due date, status, and significance. Additionally, there is a Kanban-style board display, showcasing elements on cards that can be shifted between columns as necessary, like transitioning from “in progress” to “completed”.
