The Bamboo Project Task List is automatically created when you add Task Master to a page. The list is created on the same site where the Task Master web part is added to a page. Any Task Master web parts which are added to a page in a site will reference the same Bamboo Project Task List. There is only one list per site.
NOTE: If you remove Task Master from a page or uninstall Task Master completely, the Bamboo Project Task List will not be removed; it must removed manually.
You can change the name of the Bamboo Project Task List, but you must also update the Bamboo.TaskMaster.xml configuration list with the new name; otherwise, each time that you add Task Master to a page, it will create the Bamboo Project Task List if it does not find a list of the same name in the site. The file may be located in the following location depending on your SharePoint configuration:
<drive>:InetpubwwwrootwssVirtualDirectories<port>wpresourcesBamboo.TaskMasterBamboo.TaskMaster.xml
