In project management a task is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time. An assignment is a task under the responsibility of an assignee which should have a start and end date defined. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task should claim the task as completed. Tasks can be linked together to create dependencies.
