/dm:team-assign

Purpose

Assign marketing tasks to team members with intelligent matching based on role, channel expertise, regional alignment, and current capacity. Supports viewing team workload distributions, managing active assignments, and rebalancing when utilization is uneven. Ensures every task lands with the right person at the right time, preventing overload and skill mismatches across the team.

Handles three core operations: assigning new tasks with smart member matching, listing and filtering current assignments across the team, and generating workload dashboards that surface capacity risks before they become bottlenecks. For agencies managing multiple brands, provides cross-brand visibility into team utilization.

Input Required

The user must provide (or will be prompted for):

• Action: The operation to perform — assign (assign a new task to a team member), list-assignments (view current assignments filtered by member or status), or check-workload (show team utilization dashboard with capacity warnings and rebalancing suggestions)
• Task description (for assign): Clear description of the marketing task — e.g., "Write Q2 email nurture sequence", "Audit Google Ads account", "Create social media calendar for April"
• Channel (for assign): The marketing channel the task belongs to — email, social, paid, blog, seo, analytics, content, design, pr, influencer, automation, or multi-channel
• Priority (for assign): Task priority level — low (no deadline pressure), medium (standard timeline), high (accelerated timeline), or urgent (drop everything, capacity overrides allowed up to 95%)
• Due date (for assign): Target completion date for the task — used to evaluate team member availability within the timeframe and detect scheduling conflicts with existing assignments
• Estimated hours (optional, for assign): Expected effort in hours — improves capacity matching accuracy. If omitted, estimated from task type and channel complexity using historical averages
• Brand (optional, for assign): Which brand the task is for — defaults to active brand. Relevant for agencies managing multiple brands where team members may be assigned across accounts
