Task & team collaboration · PUBLIC RESEARCH BRIEF
TodoistWhich shared view helps a team act without erasing personal focus?
Todoist currently distinguishes personal and team projects and documents team-visible projects, roles, permissions and activity views. Its filters can create custom task views, while team filters are shared and can reflect access to different projects. This brief studies shared-work visibility; it does not claim that a particular view improves productivity.

Three questions for the GTM team.
For someone joining a team workspace, would a personal-versus-team project chooser or an access-preview step better prevent work from being placed in the wrong space?
Set up this study →Would a shared overdue view grouped by owner or grouped by project better help a team decide who should act next without turning every task into a public status signal?
Set up this study →PROPOSED AUDIENCE
Who should weigh in?
North American knowledge-work teams using or evaluating Todoist, including workspace administrators, project leads, members and guests who balance personal tasks with shared team work. Recruit participants with different project access and task-volume patterns. Proposed audience; no private task or activity data is included.
TWO TIME HORIZONS
Trial today. A habit tomorrow?
Near term · 0–90 days
Over 0–90 days, test fictional workspaces with seeded personal, team, guest-only and restricted projects. Measure correct task placement, interpretation of shared filters, unintended disclosure and next-action selection. Make no change to a live team's tasks.
Longer term · 3–12 months
Over 3–12 months, follow consenting teams in test or de-identified workspaces as membership, project access and naming conventions change. Examine filter upkeep, stale shared views, duplicate coordination and the boundary between useful visibility and surveillance.
What would make the result actionable?
Use versioned Todoist help pages, synthetic workspace fixtures with an access-control answer key, task-finding exercises and permission audits. Compare what each role should see with what the prototype shows; review privacy and accessibility; treat self-reported productivity separately from observed task outcomes.
A Gather simulation returns hypothetical customer reactions. Quantifying revenue, traffic or retention needs actual business inputs and validation against observed behavior.
