Adding Tasks to a Workspace - Overview

You can add project tasks in several different ways:

From the global Tasks application. See Adding a Task in the Global Tasks Application.
From the workspace-level Tasks application:
In the Task List. See Adding a Task in the Task List for more details.
In the Gantt chart. See Adding a Task in the Gantt Chart for more details.
By importing tasks from Microsoft Project. See Importing Tasks from Microsoft Project.
Using ProjectTransit to synchronize a Microsoft Project schedule with a PPM schedule. See ProjectTransit Overview.

When you create a task, you specify task details like Name and Planned Start and Finish dates. You can include additional information like Priority, whether the task is a dependency, and which project members and resources are assigned to the task.

Note: If a workspace schedule has been synchronized with a Microsoft Project file using ProjectTransit, you cannot add, edit, or delete tasks in PPM. Team members can still update work on their tasks. For more information about ProjectTransit, see ProjectTransit Overview.
