What counts as a task?

If it can be clearly described, scoped to under 40 hours, and shipped by one engineer in 3–5 days — it's a Boundev Task.

The rule

One developer. One deliverable. 3–5 days.

If it can be clearly described and shipped by one engineer in a business week, it's a task. If it's bigger, we break it into tasks.

FAQ03

Task scope questions

Still have questions?

What if my request is too big for a single task?

We break it down. During scope review, if a task exceeds the 3–5 day window, we split it into smaller, shippable pieces. Each piece is a separate task that delivers working, production-ready code.

What if I'm not sure if something is a task?

Submit it anyway. Our scope review team evaluates every submission within 48 hours. If it's a task, we start work. If it's too big, we tell you how we'd break it down. If it's not a fit, we recommend the right service. No cost to find out.

How are tasks different from projects?

A task is a discrete, scoped unit of work — one developer, one deliverable, 3–5 days. A project is a larger initiative with multiple dependencies. Boundev Tasks handles the former. For projects, we offer Staff Augmentation and Dedicated Teams.

Can I submit multiple tasks?

Yes — sequentially. Starter and Growth plans handle one task at a time. When a task is delivered, submit the next one immediately. Scale plan handles two in parallel.
