Notes: Finish all the tasks of the story, including but are not limited to design, development and test tasks.
1. Stories linked to a Project
On the page of Story, you can do the breakdown of a story. You can also check the number of tasks decomposed.
2. Decompose stories into tasks
Now you can choose stories from the drop-down when creating tasks. The link to check stories is also be provided in ZenTao. If the title of a story is the same as that of the task, just click Copy Story.
Notes
- All the stories should be decomposed into tasks, including design, test, design, even machine procurement, and test environment deployment.
- The decomposition should be as small as possible. For example, a task can be finished within several man hours.
- If a task needs several members to finish, then it should be further decomposed.
- You can batch assign tasks, if the type of tasks is routine work. For example, a routine work is to ask every team member to write a project summary. In this case, you can select the type as routine work and then assign it to all team members.
- The type of tasks should be set carefully, since it will affect automatic calculations in development stories. We will explain this later.
- The tasks are best to be claimed voluntarily, since this will boost team members' enthusiasm to the utmost extent.
3. Multiple-user tasks and child tasks
Since ZenTao 9.6+, multiple and child tasks have been added.
3.1 Multiple-user tasks
When creating a task, you can check "Multiple" in the Assignee column, if you want to assign this task to multiple team members. Once it is checked, a "Team" button will show for you to click and select your team.
When select a team and team members, fill in man-hours for each team member. You can order members by drag-and-drop.
After you choose multiple assignees, the names will show in the Assignee column and the total man-hour will be calculated.
3.2 Child Tasks
Click "+" to create child task on task list page.
The page to add child tasks is batch create tasks page. Fill in the required fields and click Save.
Then you can check child tasks in the task list page. Click to hide/show child tasks. The default setting is to show child tasks.
- After child tasks are created, the estimate, cost and left hours of the parent task is the sub total of that of all child tasks.
- When creating a parent task, man-hour is set. After creating its child tasks, the total man-hour of child tasks will override that of the parent one.
- Multiple tasks, tasks done by multiple members, cannot have child tasks.

Another question, is there any countdown timer for the tasks ? or we have to enter the cost and the estimate only !
The last question is: where could I enter the story point of each user story, or what is the metric to track the progress of finishing the story ?
2) Yes, you have to enter the cost and estimates.
3) Story point is the concept in Jira and in ZenTao you can track the progress of a story using hours. The reason we use hours is that story point can be different from one project to the other project, but hours will stay the same.
