How do you define tasks and distribute them when preparing for a sprint?

When preparing for a sprint, tasks are usually defined based on the product requirements and priorities set by the product owner. The process includes:

• Breaking down large features into smaller, specific tasks.
• Estimating the effort for each task (e.g., in story points).
• Collaborative discussion with the team to clarify details and estimates.

Task distribution takes into account the competencies and workload of team members. A common approach is where developers choose tasks from the backlog based on their skills and interests, or the team lead assigns tasks, considering workload balance and employee development.
