unplanned work
Unplanned tasks are still just tasks
The Starbuzz CEO’s demo is an unplanned task, but you deal with it just like
all the other tasks on your board. You estimate it, move it to the In Progress
section of your board, and then go to work.

Unplanned tasks on the board become planned.
An unplanned task may start out differently, but once it goes on
your board, it’s treated just like all your planned tasks. In fact, as
soon as you assign the task and give it an estimate, it really isn’t
unplanned anymore. It’s just another task that has to be handled,
along with everything else in your project.
And that’s how you handle a task that starts out unplanned from
its inception to completion: just like any other task. You estimate
it, move it to the In Progress section of your board, and work it
until it’s done. Then you move it into the Completed section and
move on.

Although this is an unplanned task,
everything is still tied back to a user
story.
Task 20
Add “order coffee”
event and send order
by email to Starbuzz
Any unplanned tasks are
treated like the rest of
your tasks.

The task has a
description, an
estimate, and
it’s assigned to
someone.
It doesn’t matter how
a task starts out. Once
it’s on your board, it’s
got to be assigned,
estimated, and worked
on until it’s complete.
