Assigning Tasks

Microsoft Outlook has several robust tools for collaborating. We will create four new Tasks that are steps in a bigger project. The Tasks will be tagged with a Category as well as dates for follow up. The dates in these lessons happen to be the first of March. Each Task begins one week (7 days) after the previous Task.

 

These Tasks will be assigned and tracked.

This example works best if you have a partner who also uses Microsoft Outlook so that you can send and receive the assignments.
