Potential improvements

You can improve the solution according to your needs. Here are some tips.

Add new columns

Consider adding new columns if needed:

Name	Description
For release	Indicate version for which the task should be completed. In this way you can identify tasks that has to be included in the new version.
Version	Indicate version in which the bug, based on which a task was raised, was identified
Mandays estimate	Indicate estimate of mandays that you will need to spend to resolve the task.
Mandays actual	Indicate actual mandays spent to resolve the task.
Customer	Indicate who requires the task or for whom it is developed.

 

Add buttons

You can add buttons that will navigate user to another pages, e.g. dashboards or that will do a mass change of records, e.g. changing all the records with a status 'Ready for release' to the new status 'To be tested' and setting a new assigned person to a chief tester.

Distinguish various teams

If needed you can define a new column with a reference to a team record. After defining Organization structure you can set permissions in the class based on team affiliation. This allows you to share one task repository and separate visibility of tasks between particular teams.

Use a more sophisticated task management solution

You can consider using more sophisticated task solution included in the model IT (CMDB).
