How do you determine the difficulty level of tasks in your projects?

I determine the complexity level of a task based on several factors:

• Scope of work: how much code and components need to be implemented.
• Uncertainty: how well I am familiar with the technology or domain.
• Dependencies: whether there are external services or modules that the task depends on.
• Risks: the likelihood of errors or difficulties.

For example, a simple task is writing a function to process data if I have done something similar before. A complex task could be integrating with a new API where documentation is incomplete. I often use methods like story points or break down the task into subtasks to estimate the time and effort required.
