Task execution

Tasks show the work required to deliver a package. The board groups them by status; the package retains the governing scope, budget and review position. The Project Manager uses both records to decide whether the work is ready for a reviewer.

Step by step

  1. Plan tasks Project Manager

    Project Manager creates lines under the package, sets planned hours, priority and due date, and names an assignee where known.

    • Set delivery lines and effort
    • Updates Tasks, Work packages
  2. Start delivery Delivery Contributor

    Delivery Contributor moves a task from Backlog to in progress and records actual hours as work proceeds.

    • Show active work and actual hours
    • Updates Tasks
  3. Handle blocked work Project Manager

    A contributor marks a blocked task Blocked and explains the obstacle in its description. Project Manager checks whether the package scope or date must change.

    • Expose schedule or scope risk
    • Updates Tasks, Work packages
  4. Check completed work Delivery Contributor

    Work moves through in review to Done as the team verifies it. A completed task can record a completion date.

    • Record finished work and evidence
    • Updates Tasks, Record attachments
  5. Reconcile the plan Project Manager

    Project Manager compares task planned and actual hours with the package budget and impact assessment before package Review.
