# Tasks **(FREE)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/334812) in GitLab 14.5 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `work_items`. Disabled by default.
WARNING:
Tasks are in **Alpha**. Current implementation does not have any API requests and works with mocked data.
For the latest updates, check the [Tasks Roadmap](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7103).
FLAG:
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available,
ask an administrator to [enable the featured flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `work_items`.
The feature is not ready for production use.
Use tasks to track steps needed for the [issue](project/issues/index.md) to be closed.
When planning an issue, you need a way to capture and break down technical
requirements or steps necessary to complete it. An issue with tasks is better defined,
and so you can provide a more accurate issue weight and completion criteria.
To see the roadmap for migrating issues and [epics](group/epics/index.md)
to work items and adding custom work item types, visit
[epic 6033](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6033) or
[Plan direction page](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/plan/).
## View a task
The only way to view a task is to open it with a deep link,
for example: `/<group_name>/<project_name>/-/work_item/1`
