After you create an opportunity or get assigned to one automatically, you'll use the opportunity record to keep a record of communication and progress through the sales process. Next action dates can help you track task commitments related to the direct sales process, however, there is no way to assign the "next action" to another Max Classic user. If you need to delegate, you should create a task for the person instead. Opportunity next action dates will show up on your Max Classic calendar as appointments in My Day (Note that it will not appear in the appointment section of the "Working" tab in My Day.)
