Work items
Capture, own, prioritize, and deliver the work your team has chosen.
A work item is the smallest unit of delivery in FortyOne. Your workspace may call it a task, issue, story, or another custom term.

Create useful work
- Write a title that describes the outcome, not only the activity.
- Choose the team and owner.
- Add enough context or acceptance criteria for someone else to continue.
- Set priority and timing only when they carry a real decision.
- Add an estimate before using workload or auto-scheduling.
Use sub-items when the pieces can be owned or completed independently. Use links for related work that should remain separate.
