Randomly assign each person to a task without exceeding the capacity set for that task. Built for team leads, project coordinators, and workshop facilitators, this tool keeps people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities visible and shows the task assignments before you use it.
Designed to randomly assign each person to a task without exceeding the capacity set for that task, this tool applies assignment rules to people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities and presents the task assignments for review.
Assignment workflow
Randomly assign each person to a task without exceeding the capacity set for that task. Keep people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities visible while you distribute backlog tasks across a team, then review the task assignments.
For this case, set people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities, then choose “Assign tasks.” Check the task assignments before sharing or putting the result into use.
The Task Assignment Generator result still needs organizer review. Assignments are random and do not compare skills or workload. Increase task capacity or add tasks when there are not enough places.
Instructions
In Task Assignment Generator, start with people: paste one complete name per line; use any additional settings shown below the list.
Configure people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities. Set how many people each task can receive; use 0 to keep the default above.
Choose “Assign tasks.” The tool applies assignment rules and displays the task assignments with any result notes.
Check the task assignments against this limit: assignments are random and do not compare skills or workload. If this Task Assignment Generator result fits the task, copy it and download a CSV.
Troubleshooting
When: Task Assignment Generator has no usable people, or an entry does not follow the format shown by that field.
Why: The tool needs valid people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities to produce the task assignments.
Try: In Task Assignment Generator, paste one complete name per line; use any additional settings shown below the list; then assign tasks again.
When: Assignments are random and do not compare skills or workload.
Why: The tool evaluates people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities, but it cannot assess context outside those controls.
Try: Check the task assignments against this additional limit: increase task capacity or add tasks when there are not enough places. Revise the visible settings in Task Assignment Generator when needed.
Trust
The tool applies assignment rules only to people, tasks, default people per task, and task capacities. Review those settings with the task assignments; increase task capacity or add tasks when there are not enough places.
The active inputs and task assignments remain with the open task. Random 42 does not save Task Assignment Generator work as an online project; refreshing or closing the tool clears that active work.
Boundaries
