Communicate: ask your team to find out who wrote it, and why. Ideally you're using git and can use git blame to find the author. Benchmark the difference, because maybe there's more going on that you …

For the name, think about Clear. They didn't choose "Task" anything because that's not their target; instead, their customers want to be clear about what to do, and clear it off their list. Very smart…
