# Project Tasks

Typically, a project consists of multiple tasks that must be completed satisfactorily to ensure success. In Sugar Suite, after you create a project, you can create tasks associated with it.

To create a project task, enter the following information:

- Name. Enter a name for the task.
- Assigned to. Enter the name of the user who has ownership of the task. By default it is assigned to you.
- Status. From the drop-down list, select the current status of the task.
- Task Number. Enter a number for the task. A task number uniquely identifies the task. You can refer to a task by its number instead of its name.
- Depends on. From the drop-down list, select another task that will need to be completed before proceeding with this task.
- Priority. From the drop-down list, select a priority level that reflects the importance of completing this task.
- Milestone. Check this box if the completion on this task is considered a milestone for project completion.
- Order. Enter a number to specify the sequence of the task in the list of project tasks. Specifying the order is useful when a task does not have any dependencies assigned to it.
- Project. From the drop-down list, select the project associated with the task.
- Progress. Enter the percentage of the task that has been completed.
- Utilization. From the drop-down list, select the number of work hours that a user should dedicate their work hours towards the assigned task. Only one person can be assigned to a given project task.
