1. Following

What is this?

Following shows tasks where you have been added as a Follower. A Follower does not necessarily own the task, but wants visibility into its progress and updates.

Why is this helpful?

  • Stay informed about important tasks without becoming the Assignee.
  • Monitor work owned by another person or team.
  • Keep visibility on tasks where the outcome matters to you.
  • Open followed tasks quickly when you need an update.
My Tasks page with the Following tab open, showing tasks the user follows but does not own Following view.

Example

Engineering owns a customer issue, but you need to know when it is resolved. Remain a Follower and monitor it from the Following tab instead of assigning the task to yourself.
