Creation
Creation of a task requires only a definition of done and a title.
A definition of done means necessary and sufficient criteria which must be met in order for the task to be completed.
A title is simply a short string to inform a reader roughly what the task is about.
Optionally, tasks may be created with an initial customer. If many tasks are created without initial customers, someone must have a periodic meta-task to scan through created but unplanned tasks (the "backlog") and assign them customers.
Tasks may also optionally be created with:
- an initial set of dependencies
- a set of tasks which this task supersedes. A task supersedes another task if and only if the definition of done for this task is a superset of the definition of done for the task superseded.
Created tasks start with a state of Unplanned.
