What methods and criteria did you use to evaluate tasks at your previous job?

To evaluate tasks at my previous job, I used several methods and criteria:

• Prioritization by business value: assessed how important the task was for the end user or business.
• Difficulty assessment: considered technical complexity, workload, and potential risks.
• Time estimation: approximate time required for implementation.
• Dependencies: checked if there were dependencies on other tasks or components.
• Automation potential: if the task was repetitive, evaluated the possibility of automation.

For example, to evaluate a task, I could use the Planning Poker method, where the team collectively estimates the complexity of the task in story points, which helps align expectations and plan the sprint.
