Translations:Tarea/1/en
A task is the smallest unit of work managed by the team within a sprint. It represents a specific activity that must be completed to make progress toward fulfilling a user story. Unlike a user story, which describes value for the user, a task describes the team's internal technical work.
Characteristics
- It has an assigned person responsible for its completion.
- Its estimated effort should not exceed one workday. If a task takes longer than a day, it should be broken down.
- It does not appear in the product backlog, nor is it managed by the product owner; it is an internal planning item for the developers.
- It is estimated in terms of time (ideal hours), not story points.
