The plural form is needed because multiple tasks are being assigned.

While not wrong, using 'voy a asignar' sounds less natural for a scheduled action that is already decided.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, the present tense combined with a time adverb (e.g., mañana, hoy, esta tarde) is the preferred way to talk about near‑future plans, rather than using the periphrastic 'voy a + infinitive'. Also, 'asignar' is commonly used in academic or project‑management contexts, while 'repartir' sounds a bit more informal.
