- Break overall project into tasks & sub-tasks
- Define each sub-task to be "short" in project scope
(approx. 1 day effort of 1 team member)
- State each task using "verb-noun" form
Examples:
- Design motor test stand
- Build motor test stand
- Plot torque vs. speed
- Appropriate level of detail
- Function, not form, known at start of project
- Example: "Build concept demonstration prototype"
- Make each task significant
("Identify competitive products" rather than "Go to library")
