How do tasks come to you — from business via PM, through tech lead?

Depending on the organization of the development process, tasks can come from different sources:

• From the business through the PM (Project Manager) — when business analysts or clients formulate requirements, and the PM structures the tasks and passes them to the team.
• From the technical lead — when tasks are formed based on technical solutions, architecture, or team priorities.

Often, tasks go through several stages: first, the business formulates needs, the PM translates them into tasks, and the tech lead clarifies technical details and distributes work among developers. This approach ensures a balance between business goals and technical implementation.
