Every task starts out as a vague idea that, at some point, needs to be narrowed down to something specific and actionable.

If you’re at a sufficiently large organization and you get lucky, that happens before it makes it to a developer. For the rest of us, it’s an important skill to be able to take a task, ask clarifying questions, and narrow it down to something actionable.
