Create the work item
You can create a task through an agent conversation or directly in Projects → Work Items → Add work item. Add intake item also starts incoming work in the project’s Intake flow. For a rough request, begin with the Product Owner or another suitable agent:Review the brief
Check the goal, description, owner, assignee, scope, acceptance criteria, dates, dependencies, and Task Files. If the task is vague, ask the agent to refine it before execution. A small useful task might be: “Write a two-page onboarding guide using the attached screenshots, publishable as HTML and PDF, with reviewed links and no product changes.” The task-writing guide shows a fuller brief.Assign and approve
Choose the appropriate assignee. The current task supports a single assignee. When the task is clear enough, approve it by moving it to Ready through the permitted control or a later explicit approval request. Ready can trigger automatic dispatch when the executor and prerequisites are available. If you only want further planning, keep the task in Inbox. Creating a task, approving its execution, and authorizing external or destructive actions are separate decisions.Follow execution
Open Task Detail and review Current execution, latest updates, lifecycle, checklist, and next action. Open session takes you to the running agent’s conversation. Earlier runs remain in Execution history. If the task is Waiting, supply the required input. If it is Blocked, resolve the recorded obstacle. If you intentionally postpone it, use Paused. Follow allowed lifecycle transitions rather than trying to assign an already-running task to a different executor.Review and complete
- Read the acceptance criteria.
- Open Deliveries and inspect the actual result.
- Open Proofs and review the verification.
- Compare result and proof against each criterion.
- Accept the task using the permitted completion flow, or provide precise feedback and reopen it.
