1. Click the **Teams** icon in the left panel.
2. Open the team you want the new task to be created in.
3. Find and open the tab to the **Plan** in which you intend to create the task.
4. Under the bucket for which you intend to create the task, click **Add task**.
5. Enter a name for the task.
6. Set a due date for the task. If you do not want a due date, skip this step.
7. Assign this task to a person or group of people. If you do not want to assign this task to anyone, skip this step.
8. Click **Add task** to save the task.
9. After creating a task, you can customize more options, like **priority level**, **start date**, and **notes**. A task can also be moved to a different bucket. Click on a task to open its settings. An example of what the task settings screen would look like is shown in the image below.
