Team Collaboration
Add team members, assign tasks, and work together
Working with Your Team
Task Board makes it easy to collaborate with your team. Add members, assign tasks, and communicate through comments.
Good collaboration tools should fade into the background. That's why Task Board keeps communication simple: assign tasks so everyone knows their responsibilities, leave comments to discuss details, and mention teammates when you need their attention. No complicated permission systems or confusing notification settings. Everyone on your team sees what they need to see, and the work moves forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many team members can I add?
There's no limit on team size. Add as many team members as you need. Each additional team member adds to your monthly subscription at the per-user rate shown on our pricing page.
Can team members see all boards?
Team members can only see boards they've been added to. Board owners control who has access to each board. This lets you keep client projects separate from internal work.
What happens to tasks when someone leaves the team?
When you remove a team member, their assigned tasks remain on the board but become unassigned. Time entries they logged are preserved. You can reassign their tasks to other team members.
Can I assign a task to multiple people?
Each task can have one assignee. For tasks that require multiple people, consider breaking them into subtasks or using comments to coordinate who's doing what.
How do email notifications work?
Team members receive emails when they're assigned a task, mentioned in a comment, or when there's activity on their assigned tasks. Notification preferences can be adjusted in account settings.
