Best practices

Keep tasks focused

Write clear, actionable task descriptions that describe a single piece of work. If a task feels too large, break it down into subtasks.
Assign at least one person to each task to ensure accountability. Multiple assignees work well for collaborative tasks.
Create task templates for recurring workflows to ensure your team follows consistent processes across similar .
Check off tasks as they’re completed to keep everyone informed of progress. The progress counter helps stakeholders see status at a glance.
Begin with a few essential templates for your most common workflows. You can always add more as your team identifies patterns.
Give templates descriptive names that make it obvious when to use them. Include the workflow type or department if helpful.
Only set default assignees for tasks that always go to the same person or role. Leave others unassigned for flexibility.
Review and update templates regularly as your processes evolve. Remove outdated steps and add new ones as needed.
Use the description field to explain when and how to use each template. This helps new team members understand your workflows.
