Requirements
Must be able to… | User Story | Jira Issue | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create stages when editing a playbook | As a playbook member, I can edit playbook to section the checklist of steps into stages so that a long list of steps is more manageable. | |
| 2 | Set active workflow stage | As the workflow owner, I can change the stage that is currently active so that it is displayed by default for workflow members in the right-hand sidebar. | |
| 3 | View steps in stages during a workflow | As a workflow member, I can switch between the stages in the right-hand sidebar during a workflow so that I can review what has been done and coming up. | |
| 4 | Assign step owners | As a workflow member, I can assign a step in the workflow to a specific member so the allocation of responsibility is clear in the right-hand sidebar. |
