Add tasks to get things done

Tasks are Asana's basic unit of action. They help you stay organized and make things happen.

You can use tasks two ways:

  •  As an action item or to-do.
  •  As a way to store or share notes and reference information.

Assign tasks to anyone

  •  You can assign tasks to people by adding a name next to the Assignee field at the top of any task.
  •  You can even assign tasks to yourself. 

Add due dates

  •  When something must get done on time, you can include a deadline for any task.
  • Use the "Due date" option in any task's header area to add or edit a deadline.

Checkmark to complete

  • Click the checkmark near the title of any task to mark it completed.
