Hand off work to someone else in Project Online

Project Server 2013 Project Online

There are a lot of reasons why you might reassign one of your tasks to someone else, for example:

  • Maybe you’re pulled into another, higher-priority project, and you need someone else to take on part of your existing workload.
  • Maybe another person on the team has more experience than you do with a certain aspect of the project, and your project manager asks you to transition your work to that person.
  • Or…maybe you’re just really good at delegating.

To assign a task to someone else:

  1. Click Tasks on the Quick Launch.
