Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with The Task in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through creating your account, setting up your first project, and inviting your team.

  2. 2. Add multiple team members to the invite list
  3. 3. Click Send Invites & Continue to add them
  4. 4. Or click Skip to go directly to your dashboard

You can always invite more team members later from Settings → Team Members.
