Assigning tasks to users

What are my options for assigning tasks (drawing, checking,approving,etc) to users? What are options for them being able to see what is on their plate?

Interesting idea here:

Are details on this variable method published somewhere?

I have ~20 guys working on design, dwgs. I'm foreseeing files getting lost in the workflow. Not a fan of requiring users to manually send email notifications, nor automated notifications ATM.

Thanks for help!!
