From Whiteboard to Work: Turn Sketches into Tasks with Taskek
Ideas die in screenshots and scattered notes. Taskek’s Draw Board keeps momentum: sketch flows, cluster sticky‑notes, and in one click convert shapes into tasks. Those tasks land on your Kanban board, already linked to a Doc so context, decisions, and assets travel with the work instead of disappearing in chat.
Why this flow wins
- Zero retyping: You plan once—then ship from the same space.
- Traceable context: Every card points to its sketch and spec.
- Cleaner handoffs: Designers, PMs, and engineers view the same source.
- AI assist: Summarize the whiteboard, auto‑name tasks, suggest subtasks.
How to run it in five minutes
- Open Draw Board; map steps and dependencies.
- Group related nodes; label outcomes (“Prototype,” “QA,” “Launch”).
- Click Convert; tasks appear on Kanban Boards.
- Create a Doc for the winning path; drop embeds, screenshots, and acceptance criteria.
- Use Comments & Mentions to assign owners and due dates.
- Ask AI Assistant to draft a checklist from the doc headings.
Pro tips from fast teams
- Prefer verbs in node names; they become clearer task titles.
- Convert only what you intend to ship this sprint; backlog the rest.
- Add a tiny “Decision” section in the linked doc; future you will thank you.
- Keep WIP low; a smaller board finishes more work.
What success looks like
The sprint starts with a visual map, not a blank board. Everyone sees the same flow, the same tasks, and the spec that explains “why.” Comments live on the work item, AI keeps threads digestible, and delivery speed beats the old three‑tool shuffle.
