# Create demand tasks

Create tasks for a demand to delegate cost, effort, risk, and benefit assessment activities. Assign a resource or group to the demand task to track the time and effort spent performing the specified activities.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_demand\_manager

## About this task

Create demand tasks to plan work for demands rather than for a target work entity such as a project, change, defect, or enhancement. Resources assigned to a demand task can submit time spent on the task using a time card. For more information, see [Demand tasks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/strategic-planning/demand-tasks.md).

To create, edit, or delete demand tasks, you can also use the **Add demand tasks** Playbook activity. For more information, see [Use Playbook in Next Experience for Demand Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/strategic-planning/use-playbooks-in-dw.md).

**Note:** If you're creating a demand task with the PPM Standard Multicurrency \(com.snc.ppm\_multicurrency\) plugin activated and Demand Currency view enabled, additional fields are available. For more information about the fields that are available only in the Demand Currency view, see [Multicurrency in Next Experience for Demand Management reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/strategic-planning/multicurrency-in-dw-reference.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Strategic Planning Workspace**.

2.  Select the Demands icon \[Omitted image "demands-icon.png"\].

3.  Open a demand from the **List** page.

4.  Select **Details** from the navigation menu.

5.  Select the **Demand Tasks** tab.

    **Note:** If the Demand Tasks tab isn't visible, select **More** and then select **Demand Tasks**.

6.  Select **New**.

7.  On the Demand Task form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Demand task form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/strategic-planning/demand-task-form-dw.md).

8.  Select **Save**.


## Result

The demand task is created and is accessible on the **Demand Tasks** tab. Team members can access demand tasks assigned to them from Collaborative Work Management.
