Development Methodologies 

You can select from two principal Development Methodologies-

Waterfall

Under the traditional Waterfall methodology, Requirements consist of Features, which are split into individual Tasks.

Level 1 - Requirement, Level 2 - Features, Level 3 - Tasks

SAFe / Agile

Under the Scaled Agile Framework methodology, high-level Features are divided into team-level User Stories, then split into individual Tasks.

Level 1 - Feature, Level 2 - User Stories, Level 3 - Tasks


Customization

  1. To define the terms appropriate to your existing terminology, click on the Edit button.

  2. You can change the naming convention for Level 2 and Level 3 activities to match your existing convention.

Adding Activity Type

  1. You can add an activity type for similar activities by clicking the Add type button, setting the entity name, and clicking Apply.

  2. Upon completion, click Apply and then  Save

You can add multiple Requirement /Feature types and customize their names (e.g., Innovation Requirement, Enhancement Feature). This will enable an easy differentiation between different types of Requirements.


Such entities can then include custom tabs and fields to suit your needs (currently supported for Levels 2 and 3 only).
