A storyboard (or card wall) can be used to help track the status of work items during your
sprint. For example, a storyboard could have the following phases:
- Not Started A work item that is ready to be worked on by a team member.
- In Development A work item that is being worked on by a team member.
- In Testing A work item that is ready to be tested by a team member.
- Testing A work item that is being tested by a team member.
- Ready for Review A work item that is considered done by the team, but is not yet approved by the product owner.
- Accepted A work item that is accepted by the product owner and is considered complete.
While working in a storyboard, you can drag items from one column to another. Click the plus symbol to view quick details, such as name, work (estimated and remaining), and status. Click the name of any story to view its details, such as its name, description, acceptance criteria, work (estimated and remaining), status, priority, owners (development, test, and product), notes, and so on.
