#128 - Enhanced User Story Template: Priority, Estimates, Technical Notes, and Dependencies

[Sascha-Block]

Description

This issue proposes essential enhancements to our user story template to include sections for Priority, Estimates, Technical Notes and Constraints, and Dependencies. These additions aim to streamline project planning, risk management, and development processes by providing clear guidelines on priority levels, effort estimates, technical considerations, and task dependencies.

User Story

User: Development Team and Project Managers
Goal: To improve the user story template for better project alignment, risk mitigation, and efficient resource allocation.
Reason: The need for a more comprehensive user story template has been identified to ensure that all aspects of development, from planning to implementation, are well-documented and aligned with project objectives.

Acceptance Criteria

The updated user story template should effectively incorporate the following new sections, ensuring a holistic approach to project management and development:

Scenario 1: Incorporation of Priority

The template should include a Priority section where the importance of the user story is classified as High, Medium, or Low. This classification will guide the development efforts in alignment with the project's strategic objectives.

Scenario 2: Addition of Estimates

The template should feature an Estimates section, providing effort estimates either in time units (hours, days) or using a point system, facilitating better forecasting and project management.

Scenario 3: Specification of Technical Notes and Constraints

The Technical Notes and Constraints section should outline technical considerations, limitations, or constraints that must be acknowledged, aiding in early identification of potential challenges.

Scenario 4: Documentation of Dependencies

Lastly, a Dependencies section is required to document dependencies on other user stories, tasks, or functionalities, crucial for coherent development flow and scheduling.
