Teams - Tasks : Walla Walla Community College

IT-Tips-and-Tricks

Tasks are the building blocks of our work, but they can be difficult to manage, especially when you have to flip between different places to see them all.

That's where Microsoft's Tasks comes in, the Tasks app is designed to bring together your individual tasks and that of a Teams' Channel into one easy to manage location. Once added, you'll be able to create, assign, and track tasks individually or collaboratively with your team.
