Every story (or task) you're working on should be so small that if you're working on it for more than two or three subsequent daily stand-ups, alarm bells should go off. In your supportive team that means someone notices this during standup and offers to help get you unblocked.

If a task typically involves a combination of data structuring, some business logic, and the UI for it, as well as any necessary API, integrations, migrations, and of course automated tests for all that, then it might take more than a couple days. Doesn't mean you're blocked. You say when you're blocked, the clock doesn't.
- sverhagen 3y agoI don't know, if tasks have that many internal dependencies, maybe they should be separate tasks, and then don't pick up a task when it has unresolved dependencies. But sure, reality happens too, I don't want to say that what I'm describing is perfect.
