    I will admit that I have done that. I have created tasks, typically bugs, that have a title, maybe a screenshot, and a note that says contact me. It’s typically when I notice something wrong and can’t figure out an easy way to word it. Part of the problem is that I’m a visual person, so I like to show what I’m seeing. I don’t like doing it becuase I know people like to have details up front. It is something I’m working on. However, I would not hold my lack of communication against one of my devs.

      We aren’t talking about a bug, new feature stories. No screen shots, no identifieres to get me closer to a solution.

      For example one of my stories had the following as the total amount of text for the entire ticket: “Add parser for new message type.”

      Add the parser where? What is the new message type? Is this for a test tool or the project itself? Unit test framework? In a library or in the project code? We were working on two protocols and one protocol had a high level and low level message structure so i literally had 3 possibilities.

      And when i asked my boss what the ticket was about i was told that i should do some investigation and fill in the ticket myself. Wtf?!? When i then told my productivity was wanting i started looking for a new job.
