Hi, I just recently started working for a software company and my PO keeps asking us to create a variety of issues. She creates an issue ("[functional] issue name") and asks us to keep that ticket on the backlog and ask us to create a new story whenever we add it to our Sprint Backlog so she can keep track of the tasks on the backlog.
She also requests that whenever we face a blocker we should create a Spike ("[spike] issue name").
I'm not familiar with this way of working but I would love to hear your thoughts on this way of working within Jira. Have you heard of something like this before? Does it make sense?
From my experiences, we use issue type 'Spike' for any research tickets which outcome might be a design doc, planning, or other stuff.
We use Story for real functionality from the user's perspective, we use tasks to track any engineering works.
