+1 to Davids advice But first I would analyse the feature I've written. Some of the things I'd think about include
1) The use of the word task - its not very precise 2) The assumptions made in my story and whether I'm ready to make these yet a) That a task will have a name b) That only English users will be using this page c) That people will now what a CAS link is ... 3) The brittleness of what I've written - what will change and how will I have to modify what I've done So my initial scenario might be When I create a new improvement I should see a confirmation and my second scenario might be Given there are some improvements I should be able to view improvements Finally have a think about whether this feature is actually important enough to be doing first.
