Tasks and Projects help you organize and assign work to your external talent. Once you create a project, tasks can be added and assigned to your talent. You can even track milestones and create invoices within the task!

First, you need to create a new project that will contain all the related tasks. Then you are ready to add tasks, either manually or through automation.

Let's use the example of a simple website design project and associated tasks:

Project name: Website Design

Associated tasks could include:
- Content determination
- Design & build (this could include milestones of providing a few samples to choose from, draft site build, final design sign-off, final build, etc.)
- SEO review
