Create an agile story in an iteration

  1. Go to the agile iteration where you want to create the story:

  2. Click the Main Menu icon Main Menu in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, or (if available), click the Main Menu icon Main Menu in the upper-left corner, then click Teams.

    1. (Optional) Click the Switch team icon Switch team icon , then either select a new Scrum team from the drop-down menu or search for a team in the search bar.

    2. In the left panel, select Iterations.

    3. Click the name of the specific iteration where you want to create a story.

    4. In the left panel, select Stories.

  3. Click New Story.

  4. Specify the following information:

    Story Name
    Type a name for the story.
    Description
    Type a description for the story.
    Ready
    Select this option if the story is ready to be added to an iteration. When this option is selected, it indicates to users which stories in the backlog are ready to be added to an iteration.
    A story can be added to an iteration whether or not it is marked Ready.
    Estimate (points)
    Specify the estimate for the story. If your agile team is configured to estimate stories in points, then by default 1 point equals 8 hours. Estimates are added as Planned Hours on the story.
    For example, if you estimate a story as 3 points, the default behavior is to add 24 Planned Hours to the story.
    If a story contains subtasks, remember that the combined estimates for all subtasks determines the estimate of the parent story. For more information, see Add a subtask to an existing story on the Scrum board.
    Parent Project
    Begin typing the name of the project that this story will be associated with.
    By default, the story color is displayed as the same color as other stories from this project.
    The status of the project must be set to Current. If the status of the project is anything but Current, it is not displayed in the drop-down menu.
    Parent Task
    After you choose a parent project, you have the option to choose a parent task. When you select a parent task, the story is created as a subtask of the parent task on the project that you selected.
    Begin typing the name of the parent task for the story, then click it when it appears in the drop-down list.
    Custom Forms
    Select any custom forms to add to the story.

  5. Click Save Story.
