When an Opportunity is Won, a Project is created. New projects do not have any project tasks. Create your project plan with tasks and groups of tasks. This provides a way for the project manager to stay on top of everything going on for the project while assigning tasks to the team to complete the necessary tasks.

This article explains how to add tasks directly to a project. Check out this article to see how to apply a task template to a project.

A task group is a way to organize your tasks. Each group is associated with a color and phase. You can also associate start and end dates for each phase to better track important dates. This provides the flexibility to associate a phase with one or more groups.

Task groups will be used throughout the planning process, so be sure to differentiate your groups by different colors related to each group. (will be used with scheduling, time tracking, and on dashboards)

To create a task, you need to make sure you have a group created first. By default, you will have one group created for you. You can create a task in two different ways:

You can easily type to add multiple tasks by clicking the create button or entering on your keyboard.

You can organize and prioritize tasks by clicking and dragging up and down the priority list.

Tasks allow you to add all the important information from the project to ensure you and the assignees have what they need to complete the task.
