How Does the Developer Affect this Process?
Even before they start writing code, developers contribute their expertise to the process of writing user stories and tasks. More than other roles on a Scrum team, most developers have a more technical knowledge of software products.
What sounds trivial to other roles may be a red flag to developers as a lot of back-end work may be required. Without the input of developers, tasks may be underestimated. Having a team of many different roles allows different extremes to balance each other out.
In addition to knowing how much work a task may be, developers also know when and where tasks might need to be split. If a task is too large on its own, there may be a logical divide that developers know of, where other roles might not be aware of it. This gives a cleaner division between tasks and offers better and more organized work documentation.
