Tasks

Manages tasks, projects, boards, sprints, and all work item tracking within workspaces

Domain Subdomain

Overview

The Tasks subdomain is the heart of TaskFlow’s work management capabilities. It handles all aspects of task creation, assignment, tracking, and project management using agile methodologies.

Key Capabilities

  • Task Management: Create, update, assign, and track individual work items
  • Board Views: Kanban-style boards for visualizing work progress
  • Sprint Management: Time-boxed iterations for agile teams
  • Project Organization: Group related tasks into projects and epics
  • Custom Workflows: Configurable status transitions and automation
  • Priority & Labels: Flexible categorization and prioritization

Task Lifecycle

  1. Task is created in backlog or specific project
  2. Task details are defined (title, description, priority, etc.)
  3. Task is assigned to one or more team members
  4. Task moves through workflow states (To Do → In Progress → Review → Done)
  5. Task is completed and closed
  6. Task activity is tracked for reporting
