Work Types
The kinds of work you plan, deliver, and report on.
Main types
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Initiative | Planned work such as a feature, project, product bet, or roadmap commitment. |
| Ongoing work | Recurring or operational work that needs ongoing visibility without a fixed end. |
| Bug | A defect that needs triage, ownership, and repair. |
| Idea | Early candidate work that is not planned yet. |
| Todo | Simple personal work that is planned, in progress, or blocked. |
| Completed task | Finished work shown in the Journal, recaps, standups, reports, and measurement. |
| Issue | Work imported or synchronized from issue trackers such as Jira, Linear, GitHub, or GitLab. |
| Pull request or merge request | Code review and merge work from connected version control tools. |
| Agent session | Queued AI work claimed and executed by an agent. |
| Document | Structured context linked to an initiative, todo, or Shared Workflow. |
Do not use todo as a synonym for finished work. A todo is unfinished personal work; a completed task is finished work, and Captured work explains where completed tasks come from.
In spec-driven development, an initiative, bug, or todo is the spec a person, coding tool, or agent builds from.
Using another tracker?
Work you create here is managed here. Issues synced from Jira, Linear, GitHub, or GitLab keep their status, priority, assignment, and visibility in that tool until your team decides to move them.
