What do you do with large development tasks?
+Whatever the size, I try to break down tasks into their smallest parts - into a number of smaller sub-tasks.
+This means that, instead of focussing on delivering the feature as a whole, I can focus on delivering the feature incrementally.
+This makes it easier to track progress and quicker to deliver changes.
+Each sub-task should be releasable, so we know when it is done, and small and frequent releases are less risky than larger infrequent ones.
+If needed, features can be hidden with feature toggles if we don't want them to be visible - but they are still committed and deployed, even if they are not released.
+Each sub-task should have its own automated tests, but smaller tasks are also easier to test manually.
+And, if one sub-task becomes blocked, it may be possible to move onto another and continue to make progress rather than the whole task being blocked.
