● In addition to creating tasks on your personal dashboard, you can create tasks and assign
them to other team members. First, go to the menu on the left side of the screen and click
on the appropriate project that the task pertains to. Click on ‘Add Task’ and assign the
task to the appropriate team member who you feel would be able to effectively complete
the task.
● You can add followers to a particular task (who will be alerted when new comments are
made or there is a change in the status of the task) through clicking on the task, going to
the screen to the right of the task and adding followers at the bottom of the screen.
● If you are collaborating with multiple team members on a task in ASANA, you can add
comments to the task through clicking on the task and creating a comment in the section
that says ‘Write a comment.’
● You can move tasks from one project to another in ASANA through clicking on the dot
structure to the left of the task and sliding the task into a different project on the menu on
the left side of the screen.
● When you finish a task, you should mark the task complete by clicking on the checkmark
to the left of the task name. Once the task is marked complete, it will be removed from
your task list.
III. Types of Tasks to Create in ASANA
All created tasks should be clearly labeled, properly assigned to an individual who can
confidently complete the task and tagged with an agreed upon deadline. This will help your team
to clearly see who is responsible for what so that they can distribute work accordingly.
Task description should be a brief description of the task that you need to complete. The
description should be clear enough so that project managers can quickly understand the essence
of the task through the name itself.
