What is a follower?
A follower has no formal responsibility for a Task but is kept in the loop and notified about any activity associated with it. It is helpful to follow a Task if you are interested in it and want to know how it’s progressing.
Anyone can follow any Task they can access themselves, or they can be added as a Follower to any Task in the system by someone on that Task’s team.
How do I follow a Task?

How will I receive notifications for Tasks I follow?
