Project tasks offer an easy way to define milestones and track progress in your Domino Projects. Project tasks are flexible and can be used by Project owners to define outcomes and track subtasks. They are an important feature of project management in Domino.
Project tasks also organize your work by linking artifacts to a specific task. Linking artifacts like Workspace sessions, Jobs, and Apps together makes it easier to navigate Projects.

| Before you add Project tasks, make sure you’re satisfied with the Project task stages, you cannot create or edit task stages after adding tasks. |
Adding tasks to your project is simple:
-
In your Project, from the left panel, go to Govern > Tasks.
-
Use the
@in the Description to notify collaborators that you have set a task. -
Optionally, assign an Owner or leave a Comment.
After you create your tasks, edit them as your Project evolves and update the status to show progress:
-
In your Project, from the left panel, go to Govern > Tasks.
-
Locate the task that you want to update.
-
Click the three vertical dots and select Edit.
-
As you make progress towards a task, update the task stage to communicate status.
-
From within the List Mode view, you can make edits to multiple tasks at the same time.
-
When you’re done with the task, click Mark task as Complete. Marking the task as complete updates the Tasks column in the Projects Portfolio.
Use task stages to indicate a task’s current progress. Task stages are defined at the Project level, and can only be modified by Admins and Project owners.
To define task stages for the project:
-
In the Project, click Settings > Tasks.
-
Add new tasks and edit or delete existing tasks.
As your Project achieves milestones, link the artifacts you create to tasks. Linking artifacts to tasks helps your stakeholders find, organize, validate, and recreate work.
You can use Project templates to implement project management standards in Domino.
Create a Project template with the Project task stages that meet your requirements, and use it to create new Projects. This is a good way to ensure that Projects follow the same structure and process for repeatable business deliveries.
