In a shared project, every task can have an assignee — the person responsible for getting it done.
Assign a task
Open a task and pick an Assignee (or set it inline as you type). The task then shows up in that person's Today/Upcoming views and they're notified.
Why it matters
- No ambiguity about who owns what
- Assignees see their work alongside their personal tasks
- You can filter by assigned to me (or to a teammate) to see anyone's plate — see Introduction to filters
You can only assign tasks in team projects — personal projects have a single owner (you).
