Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Monday.com task template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse tasks that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich tasks. Each team is different, and your template should evolve as your team's needs change. With that in mind, we've assembled a library of Monday.com task templates to help your team find what works. Our "Error Logging" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Monday.com task template will match your team's stage, maturity, and purpose. Early in the product development process, your team is likely small and working on proof of concepts, where flexibility and quick pivots are key to success. Your team will likely want the lightest-weight task template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your task template will evolve with your team, and as your team grows, so will your processes. Even with team growth, it's important to document as little as possible to maintain agility. The phrase "as little as possible" is intentionally chosen. If you under-document, you will lack a history of your team's work, the decisions you made, and their "why." You don't want to over-document, either. A good barometer for this is to ask yourself, "Is someone going to read what I'm writing?" If the answer is "yes," you're probably on the right track. If the answer is "no" or "not really," you're probably over-documenting. Striking the right balance is key to maintaining your velocity, and selecting the right Monday.com task template can help you stay on the right track.

"Error Logging" Template Example

Here's an example of our Monday.com task template in action.

Error Logging Task

Jurassic Park's System Monitoring is missing critical error logs, particularly gate control failures and dinosaur containment breaches. Some logs are too vague, making debugging difficult.

Current Behavior

• Gate malfunction errors are logged as generic "System Failure" messages without specifying affected gates.
• Velociraptor pen breaches are not logged in real time, leading to delayed alerts.
• Logs lack timestamps & severity levels, making forensic analysis harder.
• T-Rex paddock warnings are only logged at the INFO level instead of CRITICAL.

Proposed Fix

• Add specific error messages for gate failures, including gate ID & cause.
• Implement real-time logging for containment breaches.
• Include timestamps, severity levels, and affected subsystems in all logs.
• Upgrade T-Rex paddock alerts to CRITICAL priority.
• Integrate centralized logging with automated alerts to notify staff immediately.

To-Do:

• Update gate failure logging to include specific gate ID & root cause.
• Implement real-time breach logging with immediate alerts.
• Add timestamps & severity levels to all log entries.
• Adjust T-Rex paddock alerts from INFO to CRITICAL.
• Deploy automated monitoring dashboard with proactive alerts.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Gate malfunctions are logged with specific details (e.g., "Gate 3 motor failure").
• Velociraptor breaches trigger immediate alerts in the logging system.
• All logs include timestamps, severity levels, and affected components.
• T-Rex paddock alerts are correctly classified as CRITICAL.
• Staff receives real-time notifications for high-priority incidents.
