TaskRay

TaskRay brings resource and project management natively into Salesforce. As product designer, I design the tools that match the right people to the right work — capacity planning, a configuration hub for skills and roles, and flexible ways to see a project through to done.

The Product

Professional-services teams live in Salesforce, but staffing and delivery too often happen in spreadsheets alongside it. TaskRay closes that gap — planning capacity, describing people by their real skills, and running the delivery work, all on the same platform where the customer record already lives.

Focus areas

  • Resource capacity & planning
  • A skills & roles configuration model
  • Kanban, rows, and Gantt project views
  • Native Salesforce Lightning patterns

The Work

Configuration Hub

  • A shared taxonomy of skills, software, and languages
  • Attributes inherited from a role, or assigned per person
  • Search-to-assign keeps large skill sets manageable
The hub is the quiet backbone of matching — if the attributes are wrong, every downstream recommendation is wrong too. Getting the model right mattered more than any single screen.

Ways to See the Work

  • Gantt for dependencies and timeline
  • Kanban for flow and daily standups
  • Rows for date-driven, list-style triage
Different roles need different lenses on the same plan, so the views share one data model and let people choose how they want to work.
