Key Points

  • Each task includes a clear description and usually an effort estimate; may also note owner and priority.
  • Functions as the team's day-to-day execution guide and progress tracker.
  • Kept visible and updated frequently to stay aligned with the Sprint Goal.

Example

In a two-week Sprint to deliver a login feature, the team records tasks such as design login UI (4 hours), implement authentication service (12 hours), write unit tests (6 hours), update error messages (3 hours), and perform code review (2 hours). The list is reviewed and updated in each Daily Scrum.
