Funnily enough there are a few plugins called "toDo list" :P

There are two great tutorials on making your own custom plugins or widgets, one that i can recall:-
http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to...wordpress/

How i would tackle it is probably by creating a custom widget with repeatable fields, you can design the list and general style upfront or link it to options to tweak on demand. add in a shortcode to display it anywhere without fuss.
All of that manually is a general PITA if starting from scratch lol. fortunately there are two awesome plugins which automate it all. all you need to do is punch in php/frontend html, css and any JS into the provided templates in admin, and it generates it all for you. But give both of these a try and see if they work for you. THe latter (MyShortCodes AKA CalderaEngine) can actually export as a Distributable/royalty free/plugin installer archive. its beyond awesome. - that is a premium feature tho. Im saving up for it, its a bit rough @ $50 :(

But yeah check them out for yourself:-

Check some of my old posts for some project manaegment/task tracking, and grab all teh shortcode and widget packs - - Visual Shortcodes, Intense, SUpreme, VS extensions, etc..they all integrate together beautifully and accessible from one tidy interface

if you want a fast fix, and predesigend lists and widgets - Then the shortcode packs are it

If you wanna make it all pretty - as in display to clients or whathave you, you could turn each task list into its own post and use a contend grid/slider or timeline plugin (displays multiple posts per page) <- the beauty of this would be touch navigation and easy integration of the simple ajax comments plug

(can only have one set of comemnts per post or page) - ie:- something like this using timeline pro (repository) - all stock standard design, no css or layout even necesary. these 2 plugs go great together - you could have a pic as ur main slide, or content - and use the comments below as your task list - so realtime editing adding tasks without having to go back to admin every 2 mins -.-


probably TMI lol..but hope it helps

last but not least almost every Admin Template (Standalone or WP) has a timeline or task component
