How to use the task assignment wheel

  1. 1

    Enter the tasks needing assignment, or enter team member names.

  2. 2

    Spin the wheel to match team members to responsibilities.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Note-Taker Spin: Settle who documents meeting minutes without awkward silence.
  • On-Call Rotation Backup: Pick the secondary backup engineer for release days.

Dull tasks, shared fairly

Nobody volunteers for meeting notes or ticket triage. A wheel assigns them by chance, which feels fairer than an assumption that the same person always does it. Put the tasks on the wheel and spin once for each team member.

Rotate the assignments weekly so the load is shared over time. Record who did what so the next spin can skip anyone who just had a turn.

Using it responsibly

The wheel is not a replacement for managing workloads. Do not assign tasks that need specific skills or access. Let people trade with each other, and recognize people who take on extra work.
