AOR: Management Workflow: Standard Build Workflow --------------- The story Issue Type is the basic issue type that is pre-configured in Jira Software. The purpose of the story is to act as a placeholder for some form of need, usually in the form of a user story. Because the Story is a generic issue type, it works for all types of work in an Agile methodology. Also, because the Story is generic, it is often misused and is used as generic need of various sizes. That makes the Story a versatile, but also confusing issue type to use. For this reason, we do not use the Story issue type in the Flexible Atlassian Setup. Instead, we use focused issue types such as frontend development, backend development, build and configure and Design instead. For generic research and development type of activities, we can still use the Investigation issue type.
