In Tuqqi, managing tasks and tracking progress effectively is essential for smooth team collaboration. Two key roles that help you stay organized and informed about your work items are Assignees and Watchers. Understanding how these roles function will improve communication, accountability, and visibility within your projects.
What Are Assignees?
Assignees are the users directly responsible for completing or handling a specific item or task in Tuqqi. When an item is assigned to someone:
They receive notifications about the task’s status and any updates.
They are responsible for carrying out the work or moving the task forward.
Their name is clearly marked on the item, so everyone knows who is accountable.
Assigning an item ensures clarity about who is responsible, reducing confusion and improving task ownership.
What Are Watchers?
Watchers are users who want to stay informed about an item without being directly responsible for completing it. Watchers:
Receive updates and notifications whenever the item changes or comments are added.
Can monitor progress, provide feedback, or assist if needed.
Are ideal for managers, stakeholders, or team members interested in the item’s status.
Adding watchers keeps relevant team members in the loop, even if they aren’t directly working on the item.
How to Assign and Add Watchers in Tuqqi
Assigning an Item:
Open the item details.
Find the “Assignee” field and select the user responsible from the list.
Save the changes. The assignee will now be notified and accountable.
Adding Watchers:
Within the item details, locate the “Watchers” section.
Add users who should be kept informed about updates.
These users will receive notifications but won’t have direct task responsibility.
Why Use Assignees and Watchers?
Clear Responsibilities: Ensures everyone knows who is doing what.
Better Communication: Watchers stay updated without cluttering the assignee’s workload.
Improved Collaboration: Facilitates feedback and support from multiple team members.
Enhanced Transparency: Managers and stakeholders can monitor progress easily.
