Team members volunteer for tasks based on their skills and track the hours remaining daily. If the task is not complete within the planned hours, it can be further split into additional tasks. A story is not complete until all its tasks are complete.
This task explains how to create one scrum task at a time. To save time, you can create multiple scrum tasks at once. See Create multiple scrum tasks for stories in Agile Development 2.0.
