Child (sub) stories

Jonathan Rothberg 13 lat temu • Ostatnio zmodyfikowane przez Michael Worobcuk 10 lat temu • 3
Is there a way to have a story be the parent story and have other child stories linked to the parent story?  The points for the child stories would be added up to form the points for the Parent story.  Also, it would be great if it was laid out like a tree so we could collapse the child stories and only show the Parent story.

Hi Jonathan

Firstly I must apologise that we never replied to this post.  The notifications must not have worked as all 3 of your posts have not been answered, yet posts before & after have been.  I am not sure what happened, sorry for the delay.


In response to your point however, this is something we have considered, however for simplicity of the interface, and the user experience for most of our users, we opted to keep stories grouped by Themes only, and stories cannot be attached to other stories (epics).  When a story is too big (an epic), we recommend splitting the story anyway into smaller stories, thus negating the need for epics.

I do understand the need for this, however no one other than you is asking for it, so until we have sufficient demand justifying the added complexity, unfortunately I am going to have to say we're going to park this suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion, and if anyone else feels this is a needed feature, please say so we are aware of it.

Thanks,

Matt

Another term for what I am asking for is Epics, it would be nice to have a clean way of handling Epics.

Hi Matthew,
I just read the post from Jonathan because I was looking for a way to handle epics in easybacklog. The question is:
How do I refine a user story. Let me bring an example:
The Story is "write an email". Obviously this is an epic, so it needs more details.
First refinement:
- write recipient
- write message

In my imagination the two refinements need to be the childs from "write an email".  Otherwise, I had to create 2 new stories (write recipient and write message) and delete the story "write an email".

I hope you get my decription...

thanks a lot
