Tasks help break your project into smaller, actionable, and accountable steps. A Task exists in both a List and a Status within a Project. You can create a Task in several ways:
Creating a Task
Within a Project: Create a Task from within a Status, at the top of your Task Board, or within a Milestone on your Roadmap.
Anywhere in Nifty: Use the + Create button at the top right of the screen to add a Task to any Project.
Once a Task is created, click on it to open and view its details.
