Project Task

A project task is an assignment that is part of a project. There are two different types of project tasks:

• Activity tasks – Used to assign project-related work to people.
• Approval tasks – Used to collect the necessary approvals for a project.

Apart from these two project task categories, it is also possible to add milestones to a project. A milestone is a project task that cannot be assigned to anyone and does not have a duration.

The tasks of a project can be linked together to form a workflow. The workflow ensures that successor tasks are automatically assigned after their predecessors have been completed successfully.

Only the manager of a project is able to manually add tasks to the project. A manager of a project must have the Project Manager role of the account to which the project belongs.

The Project Task Fields page provides field utilization guidelines for each field of the Project Task form.
