Creating a Work Item (Epic/Feature/Story/Task or Bug)

After a project is planned, you need to create work items, including requirements, tasks, bugs, and so on. The work item type varies according to the project type.

In a Scrum project, work items are organized in the descending hierarchy: epics > features > stories > tasks/bugs. Create work items in either of the following ways:

Choose Work > Plans > Mind Maps, click into a mind map, and create required work items along the descending hierarchy.
On the Work > Work Items page, click Create Work Item to create them.

This section describes how to create a work item on the Work > Work Items page.

Procedure

Go to the project details page and click Work > Work Items.
Click Create Work Item and select a work item type. For example, Story.

Set the fields of the work item.

Work item fields can be customized. For details, see Customizing Work Items. Table 1 describes some default fields.
