Stop re-creating the same tasks every sprint. Learn how Decuga's recurring tasks feature automatically regenerates maintenance work, standups, and review cycles the moment they are completed.
Every engineering team has tasks that repeat on a schedule — daily standups tracked as tasks, weekly security patch reviews, monthly dependency audits, sprint ceremonies. The traditional workflow is to manually re-create those tasks at the end of each cycle. Someone forgets, the task drops off the board, and the recurring work silently stops happening.
The silent failure mode
Manually re-created tasks rely on someone remembering to do it. When team members are on leave or under deadline pressure, recurring work disappears from the board — often without anyone noticing until something breaks.
When you mark a recurring task as Done, Decuga automatically creates a fresh copy with status TODO and a new due date calculated from the recurrence period. The original task is archived as Done — giving you a full history of completions — while the next instance appears immediately in the backlog or sprint.
Decuga supports three recurrence periods. Daily creates a new task due the next calendar day — ideal for standups or daily checks. Weekly creates a new task due exactly one week from today — perfect for sprint ceremonies, code reviews, or weekly reports. Monthly creates a new task due one month from today — useful for security audits, dependency updates, or monthly retrospectives.
Open any task in the task detail panel. In the metadata badges area (where you set story points, due dates, and effort estimates), you will find the Recurring dropdown — it appears as a cyan badge when active. Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. From that point on, every time the task is completed, a new copy is auto-created. To disable recurrence, open the task and select None from the dropdown.
Recurring tasks are available on the Business plan and above. The recurrence selector is visible but locked on Free, Starter, and Pro plans — hovering shows a tooltip explaining the upgrade path.
Business plan feature
Recurring tasks are a Business+ feature. They are designed for teams managing compliance, maintenance cycles, and recurring ceremonies at scale. Upgrade at any time from the Billing page — no data migration required.
