Changing the Default Status Value Sequence for Stories or Backlog Items

This article explains how to change the default status value sequence for stories or backlog items.

Overview​

The default status progression for story or backlog item is designed to support your internal development process. The default Digital.ai Agility status values are ordered sequentially to represent the typical states of a backlog item as it progresses through the development lifecycle:

  • Future. Indicates that the work will be completed at a later time.
  • In Progress. Indicates work that is currently being worked on.
  • Completed. Represents the work that is done, but not yet verified or tested.
  • Approved. Means that the work has been verified by the business (the customer or QA proxy for that role).

Steps​

The default values are just defaults. Follow these instructions to change them to the terms you use internally. This change will apply to all projects that use the specific values that are being moved.

  1. Click the hamburger menu Hamburger icon > Admin > List Types > Backlog.
  2. Scroll to the Backlog Status section.
  3. Use the up and down arrows to re-order the values to the order that you want.
  4. Click Save.
