- A priority of Low, Medium, High or Urgent
- Due date and estimated effort
- Category and label tagging for organization
- File attachments for reference materials
The five states a task can be in#
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Created, nobody has started it. |
| In Progress | Someone is actively working on it. |
| In Review | The work is done and is waiting to be checked. |
| Blocked | It cannot move until something else happens. Say what in the task. |
| Completed | Checked and finished. |
