To getting or to get

Hi,

I need some help with this sentence:

"Keeping track of tasks you have been assigned is crucial to getting them completed on time."

I want to know why the sentence contains "to getting" instead of "to get", and if it would make a difference in meaning.

For agreement with the continuous tense ('Keeping track...'), you use 'getting'.

You might instead have said, "To keep track of tasks you have been assigned, you must get them completed on time."
