User Stories and Tasks

Jason Chayer

Kind of stuck, maybe. 

We have our Jira setup where our frontend and backend teams share one project. Within that project, we have multiple features being built out. With this, we are using Epics as the new feature and then have user stories associated to that epic. However, I am needing to create tasks that are related to each user story. I do not want to create subtasks because I need our SQA department to be able to test each task and write up any pre-release issues against those. Which is why I am not creating subtasks. 

Does this seem like the best approach?

Hi @Jason Chayer 

There could probably couple of solutions that might work. 

I think that there is nothing wrong with having multiple projects and linking things together. So you can have one view of requirements / new features (as epics and stories) then in a different project have other tasks that would be linked to the stories.. You can have one or multiple boards that would be used by different teams.. 

If you add automation to that you can have a quite good process of creating automatically some test tasks on specific workflow step or any other condition that is met etc...
