Boost Productivity & Accountability in Your Business

As your business grows, task delegation becomes essential. Trying to do everything yourself not only limits growth but also leads to burnout and mistakes. A well-structured Task Delegation System helps distribute responsibilities efficiently, improve team accountability, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

At Aanjaney Business Management Service, we help companies streamline work processes using automated delegation tools built on Google Workspace. This guide shares the core steps you need to follow to build your own Task Delegation System—without needing expensive software.

What is a Task Delegation System?

A Task Delegation System is a structured method for assigning tasks, tracking progress, and ensuring follow-ups. It helps:

  • Assign work based on roles and skills

  • Track deadlines and status

  • Send automatic reminders

  • Maintain records of completed tasks


Why Every Business Needs a Task Delegation System

✅ Prevents task duplication
✅ Increases team efficiency
✅ Reduces dependency on memory or verbal communication
✅ Creates a record for performance evaluation
✅ Keeps employees and managers aligned


Step-by-Step: How to Set Up a Task Delegation System

1. Define Roles and Responsibilities

Start by listing all job roles and the kind of tasks they are responsible for. Create a clear role-task matrix.

💡 Use a Google Sheet to list employees and map them to departments or task categories.


2. Create a Task Master List

List down all possible daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. For example:

  • Follow-ups

  • Report generation

  • Client calls

  • Inventory checks

Categorize them as:

  • Daily Tasks

  • Recurring Tasks (weekly/monthly)

  • One-Time Projects


3. Build a Delegation Tracker Sheet

In Google Sheets, create a task tracker with columns like:

  • Task ID

  • Task Description

  • Assigned To

  • Assigned Date

  • Due Date

  • Status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed)

  • Remarks

🔄 Use data validation for dropdowns to keep entries standardized.


4. Automate Task Assignment with Google Apps Script

Instead of manual assignment every day:

  • Use Apps Script to assign recurring tasks automatically based on date

  • Skip holidays and weekly offs using a “Holiday” list

  • Auto-generate new task rows every day with due dates and unique IDs

✨ At Aanjaney Business Management Service, we offer ready-made scripts that do all of this—customized for your business.


5. Send Daily Email Reminders

Integrate Gmail and Google Sheets using Apps Script to send daily or weekly task summaries to each employee.

💬 “Good Morning, here are your tasks for today…” with direct links to the task sheet.


6. Track Completion and Follow-Ups

Use filters or dashboards to:

  • View tasks due today

  • Identify pending follow-ups

  • Track task status per employee

📊 Optional: Connect your sheet to Looker Studio or Google Data Studio to view dashboards.


7. Evaluate & Optimize Monthly

Every month, review:

  • Task completion rates

  • Delayed tasks

  • Employee performance

Make improvements to the process and redistribute load if needed.
