Tasks

All plans
Contents

When the AI prepares the project plan, it usually creates the initial tasks as well. In the Tasks block you add, edit and track them from there on.

Adding a task (Quick add)

  1. In the Tasks block, type the task name in the Enter task description... field.
  2. Choose the Responsible person (the project owner or a user the project is shared with) and the Priority (Low, Medium, High, Critical).
  3. Set the Start date and End date (deadline).
  4. Optionally: Buffer (days) — slack after the deadline; Planned effort and Actual effort in hours; Mark as milestone = Yes if the task is an interim goal.
  5. Press Add.

Generating tasks with AI

  1. Optionally, choose a Responsible person — this is also applied to the tasks the AI creates.
  2. Press AI Generation. The AI creates tasks based on the project goal and adds them to the list.

Managing a task

  • Marking as done — select the checkbox on the task row.
  • Edit — change the description, responsible person, priority, dates, buffer, effort or milestone flag, then press Update.
  • Subtasks — type in the Add a subtask... field, choose a responsible person and add it. Subtasks can be marked as done separately.
  • Comments — type in Add a comment... and press Post. Comments are visible to everyone the project is shared with.
  • Delete — removes the task after confirmation.

The task row shows badges: Overdue, Milestone, progress, buffer, dependency and, once a baseline has been captured, Baseline shifted and Scope increased.

RecommendationFill in Planned effort and the responsible person — resource planning, the critical path and the baseline comparison all rely on them.
