Mind Maps

Work Items

A mind map is used to plan and break down the Scrum project requirements. It visually displays the hierarchical structure of work items. When new work items are created during the planning, they will be automatically displayed on the Work Items page.

• Created work items are synchronized to the relevant epic on the Work Items page.
• Requirements are planned along the descending hierarchy of epics > features > stories > tasks. You can create an epic, add features to the epic, add stories to each feature, and add tasks to each story.

For fast core functions roll-out and feedback collection, set the priority to High for the stories that deliver the most user values under each feature.

Ensure that the basic functions of a product can be launched and avoid over-engineering.
