Where it usually breaks
And how to keep it from happening.
- An item is assigned without enough description to identify the expected outcome. The Business Analyst should clarify it before work begins.
- The board says an item is in progress while the owner has marked the parent requirement blocked. Check both records during planning.
- A review concern is mentioned only in conversation. Record a finding with its project and owner so it remains visible.
- An item's actual hours and submitted time differ. Review which figure the team maintains directly and which comes from time entries.
