Task management for a team of five to fifteen

A team this size does not need more process. It needs the assignments to be visible where the team is already talking, and it needs the chasing to happen without a manager doing it by hand. DeloPulse adds both to a Telegram group and asks nobody to install, register or pay for a seat.

Free with no seat count and no task limit. Interface in Russian, Uzbek and English.

Why the board gets abandoned by week three

Small teams adopt trackers the way they adopt gym memberships. The pattern is consistent enough to plan around.

It lives in another tab

The discussion is in the messenger, the board is somewhere else. Two homes for one task means one of them is out of date, and it is never the chat.

Somebody has to administer it

Columns, workflows, permissions, archiving. In a team of eight that is a part-time job, handed to whoever objected least, and it ends the moment they get busy.

The price is per person

Nine dollars a seat is fine for the four people who asked for the tool. It becomes an argument the moment someone suggests adding the warehouse, the accountant and the two contractors.

Half the team never signs in

An invitation, a password reset and an app to install stand between the tool and the people whose work it is meant to track. The ones who skip it are usually the ones you most needed in there.

What a team of this size actually needs

Five things. A team of eight that has these rarely misses the sixth.

Assignments with names on them

Mention people in the group and the bot builds a card with each of them on it. Several assignees on one task keep separate statuses, so the counter reads 2 / 4 instead of a single green tick that speaks for everybody.

Deadlines chased by something other than you

The bot writes privately 24 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour before the deadline, only to people who have not reported. When a deadline passes, the group sees one message naming who missed it.

One place to see what is open

The Mini App opens inside Telegram: the group’s tasks with filters, a calendar of deadlines, history, and a personal summary that covers every group you are in.

Recurring duties that appear on their own

The Monday report, the monthly reconciliation, the daily shift opening. Set the schedule once and the task is created on time, with the assignees already on it.

Nothing to configure before the first task

No columns to design, no workflow to model, no roles to assign. Group administrators get the administrative actions; everyone else simply gets their tasks. Setup is adding the bot and confirming once.

What it does not do

Worth reading before you migrate anything, because these are deliberate omissions rather than a roadmap.

No boards, sprints or dependency charts: There are no columns to drag cards between and no critical path. If your work is a plan with phases and dependencies, a project tool will serve you better than a chat.
No time tracking or invoicing: The bot records when work was reported, not how many hours it took, and it has nothing to do with billing.
Not a document archive: A task takes up to ten attachments, which is enough for the context of that task. It is not a place to keep the company’s files.
Not a personal to-do list: It is built for work handed between people. You can assign yourself something, but nothing here is designed around a private list of errands.
No import from Trello or Jira: There is no migration path. Teams start by assigning the tasks that are live this week, which takes an afternoon and skips the graveyard of cards nobody was going to do anyway.

Questions people actually ask

How many people can be in a group?

Telegram’s limits apply, not ours, and there is no pricing tier tied to headcount. In practice the product is aimed at working groups of roughly five to fifteen, where everyone knows what everyone else is doing.

We have several teams. Do we need several bots?

No. Add the same bot to each group; tasks stay isolated per chat. A person in several groups gets one personal summary in the Mini App covering all of them.

Who can edit and close tasks?

The author of a task and the group’s administrators. An assignee reports on their own part, can ask for a deadline change or a clarification, and cannot quietly rewrite the assignment. Permissions are checked on the server for every action.

Does it work for one-to-one assignments?

Yes. A personal assignment is delivered in a private conversation, with no group audience and no public overdue notice, and the deadlines and reports behave the same way.

What does it cost as we grow?

Nothing changes. Every feature is free, including reminders, recurring tasks, attachments, the Mini App and the analytics. There is no per-seat price to renegotiate at fifteen people.

An afternoon to switch

Try it with this week’s tasks

Add DeloPulse to your team’s group and assign the work that is actually live right now. If the board you abandoned is still open in a tab, this takes less time than updating it.
