Microsoft 365 (Outlook Client for Windows) - Share Your Tasks Folder
When used with a Microsoft Exchange account, tasks can be shared between people. Task sharing is not limited to just the default Tasks folder that is created in all Outlook profiles. You can create additional task folders and choose which of those folders to share. For example, you can create a task folder for a specific project. You can then share access to the task folder with your co-workers so that they can review the task list.
For the most current instructions on sharing your Task folder/s, please check out the following Microsoft help article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Share-task-folders-with-others-2627F41D-84EE-4B7D-ADF0-4D3EDEFAC110.
