Tasks
Tasks are the execution layer for work that must be assigned, tracked, and completed.
Task essentials
Every task should have:
- clear owner
- explicit status
- measurable completion condition
- context links (file/note/chat where relevant)
Workflow pattern
- capture task
- assign owner
- set priority/due context
- track updates
- close with outcome noted
Team hygiene
- avoid “orphan” unassigned tasks
- close or archive stale tasks
- avoid using tasks as generic notes
Well-maintained tasks are one of the fastest ways to improve operational predictability.
