User Guide

Run several tasks at once

You have a few small, independent things to get done and you don't want to babysit them one by one. Here's how to refine them, launch them together, and keep an overview while they run in parallel.

Before you start

This tutorial assumes you already have a project added and the skill installed — if not, run through Quick start first. Pick tasks that don't depend on each other; parallel runs work best when the tasks touch different areas.

Steps

  1. Drop your ideas into the backlog. Use the Quick-Add field to add each task as one sentence. Sightdeck AI refines each one — title, summary, kind, estimate, story points — in the background. See Backlog refinement for what the refinement fills in.
  2. Wait for the "Refining…" pills to clear. A task is ready to run once its pill is gone. Story points and duration help you judge which ones are genuinely small — read Story points & duration if the numbers are new to you.
  3. Select the tasks and bulk-start them in parallel. Multi-select the tasks you want to run together and choose the parallel start. Each task opens in its own lane and runs side by side — the full mechanics are in Bulk start.
  4. Watch the lanes. The running view shows one lane per task with its live status pill. You can tell at a glance which are working, which are testing, and which have finished — see Running tasks.
  5. Answer anything that lands in Needs You. If a task needs a decision it flips to feedback_required and jumps into the Needs You column with the question on the card. Answer it and the task resumes on its own — details in Needs You.

Prefer to queue instead of launch all at once?

If you'd rather Sightdeck AI start the tasks one at a time without you clicking each one, put them in Up Next and let the auto-scheduler work through the queue — see Up Next auto-scheduler.
