# Task Weights Assigning a weight value to each task is useful to understand the relative size of each item in a backlog, compared to the size of the other ones. The weight value is abstract, but needs to be comparable. On my projects, I like to use the [[Fibonacci Sequence]]. It's a logical sequence and is great to cover various possible sizes. Usually I use the numbers of the sequence up to 21 (~ a month of focused work).
