Overview

The team can define who receives a task, which steps it needs to go through, and how to tell when it is ready for the next stage. Building automation around agreed working rules reduces reliance on a manager to move every item manually. Before implementation, standardize field names and statuses across participating projects. Also choose an owner to take responsibility for updating the rules when the project structure changes.
