Tasks are the smallest unit of work defined during Sprint Planning. They represent specific actions required to complete a Product Backlog item. For example, a Task could be ‘Create a database query to fetch a user’s purchase history.’
During Sprint Planning, the team identifies and assigns tasks to ensure that all necessary work to complete a Product Backlog item is accounted for. This granular level of planning ensures that the team has a clear understanding of what needs to be done and can effectively track progress throughout the Sprint. By focusing on tasks, teams can ensure that every aspect of a Product Backlog item is addressed, leading to successful Sprint outcomes.
