4. Assign the task to an individual. Click the Assigned To button to list the project members to whom you can assign the task.
5. Assign the task a status.

6. Give the task a start and end date. Click the calendar icon to select dates.
7. In the Estimated Effort field, write the time you think is needed to complete the task.
   Note: On sites running TeamForge 5.2 or earlier, this field is called Estimated Hours.
