Story or task?
A story involves development. A task does not.
For: Project lead, Product owner
Rule of thumb
| Type | Use it for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Story | Code changes | A screen, an API change, a migration script, an integration |
| Task | Work without development | Configuration, access, a data correction, documentation |
Keep in mind
Coding agents work on stories. If a task turns out to need code, create a story for that part. Tasks can require approval and a check by a second person.
