What is Just-In-Time Assignment?

By Default, tasks are automatically assigned on demand from the requestor. This is also called "Just-in-Time" (JIT).

How it works:

When the "next task" is requested, it is assigned to that user, and others are prevented from working on it.

No need for Re-assignment

You may have some assumptions in mind around the need to "assign" tasks.

In Diffgram, tasks are only queued Just-in-Time. Therefore the concept of Assignment and Re-Assignment becomes redundant because tasks are only queued Just-in-Time.

Optional Manual Assignment

If desired, you may manually assign your teammates to annotate or review tasks.
