Answers.Text: I'll be sure to read up on Matrix's, sounds like what I need. Quick question, will using a matrix allow me/user to add multiples for each matrix I create? For example, if I create a Discovery Tasks matrix will I have the ability to add multiple tasks? Hopefully that makes sense.

Answers.Text: Yes you can. You can just keep adding them and make them as complicated as you want. The user can fill them in on the edit page so just give enough options on them and think about variations in the options. I'd rather have 3 block types with a lot of options then 50 blocks with 3 options if you put it like that. It's fun to play around with and in the end very usefull too. Let me know if you need any more info or if you need more help then the docs provide.

Comments.Text: The tasks are a pane with a title and a description that will have a link associated with it. The user will click on the pane and it will navigate them to whatever link. My goal is to give the Project Manager the ability to, once everything is created by me, login into Craft and simply add as many tasks for that client as needed.

  Discovery task, Website task and Assets task. If you give these blocks the fields they should need they just add whatever block they need and fill it in the way they like. You can loop over these blocks so they get displayed.
  
  They can be filled in differently for every "Client Portal"
