Task Assignment Wheel

Task Assignment Wheel chooses among prepared routine tasks when every listed option is safe, appropriate, and supported. It can add variety to low-risk team rotations, but it cannot assess skill, workload, authority, or urgency.

What is Task Assignment Wheel?

Task Assignment Wheel is a free browser-based task selection spinner for allocating suitable work items from an approved, editable list. Edit the sample entries, confirm the eligible list, choose the mode that matches the activity, and spin for a visible random result. Review workload, deadlines, dependencies, skills, authority, accessibility, and safety before confirming ownership; randomness should not replace accountable planning.

What belongs on a task wheel?

Use clear, bounded tasks that any eligible person can complete within normal working arrangements. Examples include taking meeting notes, checking a shared list, presenting a prepared update, or reviewing a non-confidential draft.

Suitable for a wheelAssign through management
Low-risk, short, understood routine workHazardous, confidential, regulated, or high-impact work
Tasks with equal training and accessWork needing certification, specialist skill, or authority
Voluntary or agreed team rotationsPerformance action, discipline, promotion, or redundancy

Check the assignment before accepting the result

Check priority

Urgent or dependent work should be planned rather than randomized.

Check capability and access

Confirm the selected person has the knowledge, permissions, tools, and time needed.

Check workload and fairness

Use a visible rotation and allow justified swaps to prevent repeated burden.

Task Assignment Wheel FAQs

Can the wheel assign safety-critical work?

No. Safety-critical work requires competent planning, authorization, and supervision.
