📋 Task Creation Guidelines – Advanced Analytics

Purpose

Tasks represent the individual units of work required to complete a Story. They break down the Story into actionable steps that can be completed within a day.

Ownership

• Tasks are created by the Story owner.
• All Tasks should be defined by the start of the sprint in which the Story is assigned.
• Tasks can be delegated to other team members or stakeholders as needed.

Scope & Granularity

• Each Task should be scoped to a single day of work.
• Tasks must be specific and actionable, contributing directly to the completion of the parent Story.

Linkage

• Every Task must have a parent link to a Story.
• Tasks should not exist independently outside of a Story.

Status Tracking

Effort Tracking

• Once the Story is completed, the actual number of hours spent on each Task should be entered in the “Completed” field.
• If a user wants to track remaining work, they can enter the estimated hours left in the “Remaining” field under Work Details.
