Seeking Insights on Startup Idea: Task Management for Non-Tech Workplaces Most task management apps-Jira, Asana, Notion-are built for project management or dev ops, packed with so many features that can overwhelm non-tech employees. Their terminology and complexity create barriers for small businesses and operational teams that need simple, cost-effective solutions. We see a gap: a user-friendly, low-cost task management tool designed for non-project-based workplaces with ability to collaborate, delegate tasks, track progress, and a minimal learning curve. 1. Does this gap resonate with those in operations and small business management? 2. What do you use for task management, allocaton and moniutoring progress? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm actually building something in this space, and after 50+ customer interviews, I've found the real problem isn't simplicity - it's contextual relevance. Office managers don't use the same vocabulary as developers. They don't think in terms of 'sprints' or 'story points' - they think in terms of deadlines, assignments, and status updates. The opportunity is in creating domain-specific versions of task management that use the language and workflow patterns of specific industries, not just making a simpler version of Asana.

The most successful non-tech task management implementation I've seen was actually just a heavily customized Airtable base with a simple form interface for employees. It cost almost nothing to set up and maintain, had exactly the fields needed for that specific business, and was easy enough that everyone from the receptionist to the CEO could use it. I'm skeptical there's a big enough market for a new product when free/low-cost customizable tools already exist that can be tailored to each business's needs.

I think you're conflating feature bloat with poor UX design. ClickUp has a ton of features but presents a relatively clean interface and lets you hide what you don't need. The real opportunity isn't removing features but creating better onboarding and interfaces for the features that matter. Our non-profit uses Monday.com successfully across staff with varying tech skills by careful template design and permission settings. I'm not convinced a new platform is needed versus better implementation services for existing ones.
