Task
A piece of work, linked to the items it helps ship.
A task is a piece of work. Tasks are linked to the items they help ship.
Statuses: To do, In progress, Done, Won't do. Done and Won't do keep their closing date; reopening clears it.
- Assign a task to a person, or leave it in the pool for a job function (for example Design) so anyone in that role can pick it up.
- Each task has a type: design, build, decision, QA, launch or other.
- Due dates show the year when they aren't this year.
A task can block an item or just be linked to it. See Blocking vs linked tasks.
