Why is it important to assign tasks during the planning phase of a project?

Assigning tasks during the planning phase of a project is important because it helps in defining clear roles and responsibilities for each team member. It ensures that everyone knows what they are supposed to do, which helps in avoiding confusion and miscommunication. It also allows for better time management as tasks can be scheduled and deadlines can be set. Moreover, it aids in resource allocation and helps in identifying potential risks and issues that might arise during the execution phase.
