Create or Edit User Stories

You can create a user story to describe work items for a sprint. Create the user story from the Planning Backlog page.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Agile Vision menu and select Backlog from the Planning menu.
2. Display the backlog for the product for which you want to create the story.
3. Click Add User Story.

   The User Story Edit page appears.

4. Complete or edit the following fields as needed.

   Title

   Specifies the name of the user story.

   Required: Yes

   Limits: 255 characters

   Example: Many Agile teams use the format: "As a ___ I want to ___ so that ___". For example, "As a user, I want to see home page when I log in so that I can view my current tasks".

   Status

   Specifies the status of the user story.

   Values:

   • Planned
   • In Progress
   • Completed
   • Closed
   • Default: Planned

   Priority

   Specifies the importance of the user story in the product.

   Values:

   • Very High
   • High
   • Medium
   • Low
   • Very Low

   Default: Medium

   Story Points

   Defines the number of points estimated to complete the user story. Point values must be expressed as integers. Decimals are not allowed.

   Assignee

   Specifies the team member who owns the user story.

   Note: You can assign the user story to a Agile Vision user who is not a member of the scrum team that owns the story.

   Example: A member of another team assists with code review.

   Epic

   Defines this user story as the child of an existing epic. You can move a user story from one epic to another from the edit page of the user story.

   Description

   Defines the purpose of the user story and provides additional relevant information.

5. In the Product Details section, complete or edit the following fields as needed:

   Product

   Specifies the unique name of the product.

   Release

   Specifies the release to associate the user story with.

   Sprint

   Specifies the sprint in which the user story is completed.

   Theme

   Specifies the themes that the user story is part of. The user story is listed on detail pages of all the selected themes.

   Team

   Specifies the scrum team assigned to complete the user story. The list of available teams is limited to the teams assigned to the sprint.

   Default: None

   Master Release

   Defines the master release with which the user story is associated. You can assign the user story to a master release only if the product is associated to a master release. If the product release is associated with a master release, the user story is automatically assigned to the same master release.

   If you select a product release that is associated with a master release, the master release field in the user story is overwritten. If the user story was originally assigned to a different master release, it is now assigned to the same master release as the product release.

6. Click Save.

   The User Story Detail page appears. From this page you can view and manage all information relating to the story, and create tasks as sub-items of it.
