Task management / Task hierarchy

A task hierarchy from org goal to agent task.

Task hierarchy turns the mission control page into a readable map of goals, epics, stories, and execution-level agent tasks. Teams can see how work decomposes and where it is blocked.

The right hierarchy makes the board readable without extra explanation.

Hierarchy

Use the same model for goals, epics, stories, and execution.

Work breaks down from a team objective to one agent task.

Org goal

A directional objective at the top of the chain.

Project epic

A larger deliverable that spans multiple stories.

Story

A smaller unit of user-facing or system work.

Agent task

The atomic work item an agent can actually execute.

Visibility

Make the shape of work visible instead of hiding it in a backlog.

People can see where a task sits and what it is waiting on.

Parent / child

Show how a task rolls up into an epic or goal.

Blocked by

Show the upstream dependency that is holding it up.

Status

Expose whether it is inbox, assigned, in progress, or review.

Ownership

Make it clear who or what is responsible for the next step.
