# Execution Stage

> Deliver high-quality results in agile sprints with full project and task tracking.

## What Happens at This Stage

Execution is where your team does the work. Nextoria Hub gives your team a structured environment to plan work in sprints, track progress in real time, communicate in context, and maintain full budget visibility throughout.

## Sprint Planning

Organize work into time-boxed sprints under **Project → Sprints → New Sprint**:

| Field           | Description                                                                |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sprint Name** | e.g. "Sprint 1 – Discovery & Architecture"                                 |
| **Duration**    | 1–4 weeks (recommended: 2 weeks)                                           |
| **Goal**        | One-line description of what "done" looks like for this sprint             |
| **Tasks**       | Drag tasks from the backlog into the sprint                                |
| **Capacity**    | Total available hours for the sprint (auto-calculated from team calendars) |

## Daily Workflow

A typical team member's day in Nextoria Hub:

1. **Check dashboard** — see assigned tasks sorted by due date and priority
2. **Start timer** on the first task to begin tracking time
3. **Update task status** as work progresses (drag in Kanban or click status in List)
4. **Post updates in chat** — tag teammates, share files, ask questions in the linked project channel
5. **Log blockers** — blocked tasks appear in the project lead's daily digest

## Handling Scope Changes

When a client requests work outside the agreed proposal:

1. Create a **Change Request** at **Project → Change Requests → New**
2. Describe the additional work, estimated effort, and impact on timeline/budget
3. Set a status: `Pending Client Approval`
4. The client receives a portal notification to approve or decline
5. On approval, the change request automatically creates new tasks and optionally generates an addendum invoice

<Warning>
  Never start out-of-scope work without an approved change request. Nextoria Hub
  flags tasks not tied to an approved scope item.
</Warning>

## Progress Reporting

The **Progress** tab inside each project gives a live project health summary:

* % of tasks completed vs. total
* Days remaining vs. original estimate
* Budget consumed vs. allocated
* Overdue tasks with responsible team member
* Last client activity in the portal

Share this view directly with the client (read-only portal link) or export as a PDF status report.

## Communication During Execution

* Use the **linked project channel** for async team communication
* Use **task comments** for context-specific conversation
* Use **@mentions** to pull in specific teammates
* Schedule client check-ins using the **Meetings** tab (connects with Google Calendar or Outlook)
