An Assignment is simply a unit of work after which it is apt to provide timely feedback. Assignment Templates help "standardize" work processes within functional groups.
Templates can be leveraged to have a well defined on-boarding process or can be used for on-going coaching and work management. Note that Assignments are not really for project management across people but are focused on "development and feedback" for one person.
For example, for a website design firm, "Website Concept Design" could be an assignment template, such that after a new design is made, feedback can be provided around various aspects or expectations around the design. So here's an example of a template:
Website New Concept Design {Template Name}
Expectations [Competency Tag]
‐ Create Wireframe with ease of information flow [Wireframing]
‐ High Impact Visual Language creation [Visual Design]
‐ Effective use of Brand colors and guidelines [Visual Design]
‐ Clean, crisp and consistent design across elements [Visual Design]
‐ HIgh Impact and appropriate use of Images [Innovativeness]
‐ Overall innovativeness and new approaches to interaction [Innovativeness]
Now when a design assignment is completed a manager or assessor can give feedback (Thumbs up, Ok, Strike) on each of these expectations. The competency tags helps us all understand how the person develops the various competencies over time.
Below is a detailed video demo on how to create Assignment Templates.
