Each project phase consists of tasks which further make it easier for delegating resources and micro managing the entire project.

You can perform basic functions around a task that include adding assignees, start and end dates, attachments. Add sub tasks, create task dependencies, add file attachments and have conversations around the task.

This help article focuses on the actions that you can work on around a task.
