Microsoft Outlook's Calendar feature allows you to create your own personal schedules, which is useful for organizing your day-to-day tasks or long-term plans. But you can also use Outlook's sharing ability to create a task and share it with others. This can be helpful in work situations where you want to collaborate on tasks among a team. In order to create group tasks, everyone must be part of a Microsoft Exchange Server. The Microsoft Exchange Server is a collaborative communication server that is used in organizations and businesses. You can create group tasks and view them in Microsoft Outlook.
