Create a task
Add a task to a project, give it a status and priority, and fill in assignees, dates, and a rich-text description.
Tasks break a project's work into manageable pieces. You can add one from the board or the project's Tasks tab.

Assigning a task to a Member auto-adds them to the project, so you don't have to enrol them separately.
