意味

Task management — organizing, prioritizing, and tracking work items and to-do lists.

A common workplace term that blends the English loanword タスク with the Japanese 管理 (management). With the rise of productivity tools like Notion, Trello, and Backlog (popular in Japan), タスク管理 has become an everyday office phrase. It encompasses both the concept of managing individual tasks and the tools used to do so. Japanese workers often discuss タスク管理 in the context of efficiency and preventing overtime.
