<Answer label="What is Easerix Tasks">
Easerix Tasks is an issue tracker built for momentum: organize work into
teams, group issues into projects and time-boxed cycles, and move them across
a drag-and-drop board. Issues carry priorities, assignees, labels, due dates,
estimates, and sub-issues. It's part of the Easerix suite, so it shares one
login and workspace with every other tool.

## Frequently asked questions

### What do the issue keys mean?

Every issue gets a key like `ENG-12`: the prefix is the team's key (you pick it when creating the team, 1–6 letters or digits) and the number counts up per team. Keys never change, so they're safe to reference in commits and chats.

### How many issues can I create?

The free plan includes unlimited issues on 2 teams.

### Can several people be assigned to one issue?

Each issue has a single assignee. To split work across people, break it into sub-issues and assign each one.
