Agreements-based To-Dos ensure accountability and transparency. To-Dos created by and assigned to different users become agreements-based. Users can accept or reject the To-Dos assigned to them in the To-Dos tool. Click the clock button to view all your pending To-Dos.
The following are not agreements-based:
- Personal To-Dos
- To-Dos created by and assigned to the same user
- To-Dos created by a Milestone
- Repeated To-Dos after the initial To-Do has been accepted
- To-Dos created for another user on a team the creator isn’t on
Use the comments section to communicate with stakeholders or document progress without entering the negation workflow.
To-Dos From Meetings
At the end of any meeting using the Meetings tool, all To-Dos created for those in attendance will be automatically accepted. When creating a To-Do in a meeting, team members should come to an agreement on its due date and scope of work (as noted in the description box).
Team members marked absent for the meeting will have to accept their To-Dos.
To have all To-Dos created in a meeting stay as pending, uncheck the Accept All Pending Agreements-Based To-Dos option during the Conclude section.
