Priority Matrix lets you assign tasks to anyone in your organization, even if they're not members of the project containing the task. This flexibility allows for seamless collaboration across teams and projects, with assigned tasks appearing in each user's inbox and external projects view.
How Task Assignment Works
- Project Members: See the task in its original project context
- External Assignees: Access the task through:
Method 1: Using the Item Details
- Click or tap on any task to open its details
- Click/tap on the current owner's name
- Select from existing team members or enter an email address for new assignees
Method 2: Using Chat Commands
You can also use
natural language commands in the item chat:
assign to [name] - change the task owner
delegate to [email] - assign to someone by email
invite [name] - add someone as a follower
Adding Followers
Like task assignment, you can add followers regardless of their project membership:
- Open the item details
- Click/tap the followers section
- Add team members or enter email addresses
Key Points:
- Assigned users receive task notifications
- External assignees can interact with the task without seeing the rest of the project
- Followers receive updates without being responsible for completion
- Tasks appear in the assignee's inbox and external projects view
- No project membership required for task assignment or following
