Right now, tasks are not public by default; you must specifically put a task into a project or mark it as public for others to see it. In our organization, we would prefer to make tasks public by default, so that supervisors can easily see the complete workload and distribution of their team members’ tasks, and so that if a subtask is assigned to someone, they can view the task it’s a part of without requesting permission and waiting. I imagine this as a simple default visibility radio button or drop-down menu somewhere in “Organization Settings.” ---
