<p>Some projects are too big to tackle alone. Share your projects with others so you can work on completing them together.</p>
<p><strong>Start by tidying up the project you want to share</strong>. Teamwork depends on clear communication. So before you invite your teammates to your Todoist project, make sure it’s well-named and well-organized so people aren’t overwhelmed when they show up.</p>
<div class="box-tip">Organize your Todoist project using the <a href="https://blog.doist.com/a-quick-and-easy-guide-to-completing-any-project-in-todoist-a40221971000">Quick and Easy Guide to Completing a Project in Todoist</a>.</div>
<p><strong>Share your project with your teammates</strong>. With everything in place, you’re ready to <a href="https://support.todoist.com/hc/en-us/articles/205195062-Sharing-Projects-Collaborating">invite your teammates to collaborate on your project</a>.</p>

<p>When a teammate accepts the invitation, they’ll see everything in the project: the tasks, the due dates, the priorities, the comments and more.</p>
<p><strong>Assign them their first task</strong>. Make sure your teammates are clear about what they’re working on by <a href="https://support.todoist.com/hc/en-us/articles/213640389-Assign-a-task-to-someone-else">assigning them their first task</a>. They’ll get a notification about the task and can get to it when they’re ready.</p>

<div class="box-tip">To make sure your teammates complete their task on time, give the task a due date and the task will show up in their <a href="https://support.todoist.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000030999-How-to-plan-your-day"><strong>Today</strong></a> view when the due date arrives.</div>
<p><strong>Discuss tasks together using comments</strong>. Whenever you or a team member want to bounce ideas off of one and another or discuss a task’s details, simply add a <a href="https://support.todoist.com/hc/en-us/articles/205348311-Comments-File-Uploads">comment</a> to the task.</p>

</div>
<p>With comments, anyone can ask questions, discuss the task at hand and also attach any supporting documentation – whether those are photos, PDFs, videos or the like.</p>
<p><strong>Build a weekly rhythm</strong>. To make sure things are progressing well, check on your shared projects every week. There are a few things to look out for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure every task has been properly assigned.</li>
<li>Make sure every task has a due date.</li>
<li>Complete any tasks that have been finished but not marked as complete yet.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once everything is assigned, dated and prioritized, you’ll have no trouble checking the progress of your project and making sure everything stays on track.</p>
