What is better task names?

Better task names for JIRA are more than just a collection of fancy words. They actually create a better team performance as they make things more transparent.

Our analysis shows the most productive teams are those that make tasks more meaningful. The tasks are better named and easier to understand.

In software development, tasks are the main source of data about the system and its components. In the team's day-to-day work, we have hundreds of thousands of tasks and these tasks are created to track the system's behavior. With the ever-growing complexity of software systems, it is necessary to have a good name for every single task. The task name should include more than just a number and description, it also helps to track and understand why and how we need to act on a certain task.

So, when you are creating a task or editing a task's title in JIRA, this extension enables a little suggestion to show up, suggesting the best format for that type of task. It should be easy to understand for the members of the team and those responsible for following the project's timeline.

In addition to that, it's very important for the tasks to be as short as possible and to be accurate and unambiguous. These aspects make the task's resolution faster.
