## **Discussing Tasks**

* Project manager discusses the tasks with the team
* The team members must provide feedback on the length of time a task will take, alert the project manager to any problems that may arise and identify the dependencies in the project.
*

## **Assigning Task**

* Project manager must decide on what project management [tool](https://www.scoro.com/blog/best-project-management-software-list/) they would like to use. 
* The project manager will add the tasks to the calendar / timeline / Gannt Chart. 
* The project manager must input and assign tasks to the team. 
* The project manager must prioritise tasks, ensuring that tasks with dependencies are worked on first and that team work is coordinated around specific tasks. 

## **Working on Tasks**

* The assigned team member must change the status of the task when they have started working on a task (only one task should be worked on at a time, no multitasking). 
* The team member should select high ticket items first. 

## **Reviewing Tasks**

* The team member should send a status update at the end of every day
* The team member should communicate where they are with the task during the standup every morning. 
* Review completed tasks and provide feedback

## **Methodology**

* The project manager [assigns tasks](https://www.projectmanager.com/software/task-management)
* The project manager monitors work -  reviewing its status and progress, and checking on its quality when complete
* The project manager captures issues and risks that arise and acts to resolve them.
* The project manager reports on its progress to the project board - comparing progress to the project plan.
