Tasks
Work that moves the way the team works.
Each team moves its work items through its own steps, on its own board. Break a big job into sub-items, estimate it in time or points, log the time it takes, and keep every change of status, owner and estimate, with who and when.
Your team’s own steps,
on your own board.
Set up the team’s steps, such as Requested, Approved, In Progress, Waiting for Parts and Done, and which moves between them are allowed. The board’s columns show the steps. The team drags work items across it, and a move the steps do not allow is refused.

Break it down,
part by part.
Add sub-items under a work item and see how many are still open. Give a work item to one person, set its due date and priority, and move it through its steps.

See what happened,
with who and when.
Estimate the work in time or in points, and change the estimate with a reason when it turns out bigger. Log the time spent with a note each time you work on it. The history keeps every change of status, owner, estimate and board column, and every time entry, with who and when.
