Hand off work to someone else in Project Online

There are a lot of reasons why you might reassign one of your tasks to someone else, for example:

  • Maybe you’re pulled into another, higher-priority project, and you need someone else to take on part of your existing workload.

  • Maybe another person on the team has more experience than you do with a certain aspect of the project, and your project manager asks you to transition your work to that person.

  • Or…maybe you’re just really good at delegating.

To assign a task to someone else:

  1. Click Tasks on the Quick Launch.

    Tasks view on the Quick Launch

  2. Click Tasks > Reassign.

  3. Find the task that you want to reassign in the Select New Resources grid, and choose a new team member in the Reassign To column.
