What's the difference between todo and assignment?

[cphills]

To-do's for other attendees of the meeting. This is for awareness of actions others are taking after the meeting so I have a full understanding of who is doing what.

[zigzaggy]

Not OP but I assume one gives assignments and receives to-dos.

[SNACKeR99]

I believe it means the work needs delegation.

[cphills]

Yes you are correct. To-do's for other attendees of the meeting.
