# Add a task to a deliverable


Create a task to track an activity that needs to be completed as part of a [campaign deliverable](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/plan-campaign-strategy/managing-campaigns/add-a-deliverable-to-a-campaign.html). Add one or more tasks to organize and track work toward a specific outcome, such as designing a landing page, writing copy, or preparing marketing assets.

You can assign each task to a team member, set its priority and due date, and use comments and checklists to coordinate work.

To create a task associated with a campaign but not with a specific deliverable, see [Add a task to a campaign](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/plan-campaign-strategy/managing-campaigns/add-a-task-to-a-campaign.html).

To add a task to a deliverable:

1. In the navigation menu, click **Strategy**. 
2. In the left sidebar, click :mdiBullhornVariantOutline: **Campaigns**.
3. On the **Campaigns** page, click the campaign that includes the deliverable you want to add a task to.
4. On the **Deliverables** tab, click the deliverable you want to add a task to.
5. On the deliverable details page, click **Add task**.
6. Enter a task name (up to 255 characters), then press Enter or click :mdiCheck:. 
    
    The task appears on the deliverable's **Tasks** tab. The same task also appears automatically on the campaign's **Plan** tab.

## Add task details

To add task details:

1. On the **Tasks** tab, find and click the task you want to add to edit. The task dialog opens.

     - **Status** - select *Not started*, *Backlog*, *Triage*, *In progress*, *In review*, *Pending feedback*, *Completed*, or *Cancelled*.
     - **Assignee** - select the team member responsible for the task.
     - **Priority** - select *Urgent*, *High*, *Medium*, or *Low*.
     - **Due date** - select a due date from the calendar.

You can also use the following tabs for additional task management:

   - :mdiPlaylistCheck: **Checklist** - create and manage checklists. See [Add a task checklist](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/plan-campaign-strategy/managing-tasks/add-a-checklist.html).

4. When finished, click :mdiClose: or anywhere outside the task dialog to return to the **Tasks** tab. Your changes are saved automatically.
