The expected functionality from an Issue Tracking system

While we have focused a lot on the Messaging functionality and the Conversations-Tasks interactions, there is a lot to uncover in the Issue Tracking side of things.

It is not the scope of the current Beta docs to describe the functionality of each feature in great details - especially as they will be rapidly changing in the upcoming weeks. However, the main tools for a modern, cross-functional, fast-moving software development team can be found in Makkuro:

• Tasks, Subtasks, and Checklists (in the task descriptions) represent the bulk of the tactical work that you can do.
• Projects are there to group these Tasks together, and milestones to provide a high-level overview of the progress.
• Sprints, to set the pace while you are working on a project.
• Filtering and Organization functionality to cut through the noise and focus on what's important.
• Comments on Tasks to clarify any questions or provide additional context.
• Custom Statuses and Labels to adapt the system to your workflow. These are different from the ones you encountered in the Conversations and are also different for the Tasks/Subtasks and Projects.

Here's a list of the default statuses:
