Work on tasks

Manage your project plan by defining units of work and assigning them to project members.

• Create a task
  Create a task when you identify a unit of work that you want to track to completion as part of your project.
• Edit a task
  Tasks often change assignee, start and end dates, and dependencies before they are finished. You can update all those aspects of a task, along with its status.
• Find tasks
  Use the task manager to find a specific task or set of tasks quickly. You can filter tasks by predefined fields or search by keyword, date or other values.
• Schedule a task before or after another task
  When one task cannot be done unless another task is done first, set up a dependency to track the relationship between the two tasks.
• View task dependencies
  Task dependencies allow you to establish relationships between tasks. Task dependencies show what must be done before a given task and what will be done after the task is complete.
• Associate a task with other items
  When a task is related to other CollabNet TeamForge items such as documents, tracker artifacts, file releases, integrated application objects, or news items, you can connect the document to the other item by creating an association.
• Manage tasks
  Project members with the Task Admin permission can perform all task administrative functions such as copying and moving tasks. They can also create and administer task folders.
• Organize tasks
  Use task folders to organize tasks according to work group or project phase.
• Manage tasks in Microsoft Project
  When you install the Task Management plugin and connect to your CollabNet TeamForge site from Microsoft Project, you can export and import tasks between the tools.
