Tasks & Workflows

Work items, shaped to your process

A task is the unit of work — and a rich one. It carries who's on it, what it's blocked by, how long it's taken, and where it is in your process, with the types and statuses set the way your team already works.

A rich work item

More than a checkbox

Each task has an assignee and a reporter, a priority and a status, estimates and logged time, labels, and links to other tasks. Watch one to follow it, or leave a comment — it's the full record of a piece of work.

  • Assignee, reporter, watchers, priority, and labels.
  • Estimates and logged time, start and due dates.
  • Links to the tasks it blocks, duplicates, or relates to.

Your reference data

Types that nest, terms that are yours

Task types are organized into four levels, so an initiative nests over epics, standard items like stories and bugs, and their subtasks. Statuses, priorities, resolutions, and link types are yours to define and compose into each project's workflow — while labels, versions, and components are set per project.

  • Four hierarchy levels: initiative, epic, standard, and subtask.
  • Define your own statuses, priorities, resolutions, and link types.
  • Add labels, versions, and components per project.
task types
InitiativeA big goal that spans work.
EpicA chunk of that goal.
StandardA story, task, or bug.
SubtaskA step within one.

Workflows

The moves you allow

A workflow gives a task type its statuses and the moves allowed between them — so a task goes from one status to the next along paths you set, not any which way. A transition can require a resolution, to record how the task ended.

  • Each task type follows the workflow you give it.
  • Only the transitions you define are allowed.
  • A transition can require a resolution to record the outcome.
