# 6.2.14 Set Story Points for Task

This feature allows users to estimate the level of effort required to complete a task in terms of story points. Story points are a unit of measure used in Agile development methodologies to estimate the size or complexity of a task. The purpose of this feature is to help teams to estimate how much work they can complete in a given time and plan their work accordingly.

### Steps to Use:

* Select a **task** from a **project**. The **task modal page** opens.
* Click the **Story Point** section.  &#x20;
* **Enter** the **number** as **points**.
* Click the **Tick (** ![](/files/yi1vssYOGLe4r57s9D8E) **)** **button.**
* The **Story Point** will be **updated**.

### Important Notes:

* Story Points are the evaluation points to evaluate a task.
* To evaluate an employee's task completion efficiency, assign a story point number to the task and evaluate their efficiency upon completion. When marking the task as complete, the user will be prompted to provide the story points.
* Note that, the concept of a story point is entirely to evaluate the task, not the assignee. It may help you to identify the Employee of the week or month on the basis of the points.
