At the task setting stage, who do you most often interact with and in what form does the task come?

At the task setting stage, I most often interact with the product manager or team lead, who formulate the requirements and goals of the task. The task usually comes in the form of a description in a tracking system (e.g., Jira) or as a technical assignment.

The format of the task can vary:

• A brief description with the expected result and acceptance criteria.
• A technical assignment with implementation details, constraints, and links to documentation.
• Sometimes — an oral discussion or presentation, after which the task is documented in writing.

It is important to clarify unclear points to avoid misunderstandings and to correctly estimate the scope of work.
