Teamwork (formerly Teamwork Projects) bridges for WordPress cache synced tasks in a custom post type (typically wp_posts (post_type=teamwork_task)) with project ID, task list, assignee, due date, and time-estimate data stored in wp_postmeta. Account configuration lives in wp_options under teamwork_subdomain and teamwork_api_key.

SleekView pivots that cache into typed columns. Project name, task list, assignee, due date, and estimated hours become real columns instead of opaque postmeta values. Filtering by project + assignee + overdue status across every active client project is a single saved view, replacing the per-project drill the default Teamwork UI is built around.

Inline edits go through wp_update_post and update_post_meta so the bridge's save_post_teamwork_task hooks fire and queue API pushes back to Teamwork where supported. Direct-write fallbacks for read-only bridges are clearly badged per column.

Teamwork is the closest thing to an enterprise PM platform that still appeals to agencies, which means it tends to scale fast and stress the per-project UI quickly. The web app is excellent for one project at a time and structurally weak for cross-client triage, especially when finance, ops, and resource management all need overlapping views. The bridge plugins for WordPress already mirror tasks and milestones into wp_posts with project, assignee, estimate, and due-date data in postmeta.

The API sync cost has already been paid. The missing piece is a UI that reads that cache the way an agency operations team actually works. SleekView pivots postmeta into typed columns, aggregates tracked hours when the bridge syncs them, and lets teams save cross-project views like "Every overdue billable task this week" as a single URL.

The bridge stops being a one-way mirror and becomes the agency's working layer, Teamwork tabs stay closed, and Monday morning catch-up turns from a URL-hopping marathon into a one-screen briefing.
