Task Management

Value: Communication and feedback. Breaking work into explicit, trackable units makes intent visible, progress measurable, and handoffs clean. Small tasks create short feedback loops that catch problems early.

Purpose

Teaches how to decompose work into well-structured tasks with clear acceptance criteria, manage dependencies between tasks, and track status through a consistent lifecycle. The outcome is a work breakdown where every task is unambiguous, appropriately scoped, and sequenced so nothing is blocked unnecessarily.

Practices

Decompose Top-Down, Execute Bottom-Up
