What is the purpose of an activity queue?

The purpose of an activity queue is to facilitate self-assignment of tasks. This feature allows users to see a list of available tasks that they can take on based on their skills or availability. Self-assignment encourages a proactive work environment where team members can manage their workloads, choose tasks that align with their expertise, and contribute to meeting project goals efficiently.

An activity queue enhances workflow by providing visibility into available activities, empowering users to take ownership of their tasks, and streamlining the task-handling process within the organization. This leads to increased productivity and better resource allocation since individuals can pick tasks that are most relevant or urgent based on their current priorities.

While categorizing completed tasks, assigning tasks directly, and monitoring overdue activities are important aspects of task management, they do not capture the essence of what an activity queue represents in providing user autonomy in task selection.
