Workflow

- There are many roles on production teams…that work independently.…Designers, developers, analysts, copy editors, testers.…The list goes on.…Each role is staffed to provide a very specific input…that together will help complete a project.…Simply having all of the right roles on team…does not guarantee a timely and sufficient outcome.…There must be an order of operations…so that each contribution is received at the right time.…A project is broken into a series of components…which together make up the whole of a product.…

These are called Epics.…Each Epic consists of a number of actions…that are fulfilled to build out the functionality…of a product.…These are called stories.…Stories are components assigned to developers…who build out the scaffolding…to accommodate the remaining components…from other roles on the team.…This work can typically be completed separate…from development.…These are called tasks.…For example, copy from a copy editor.…This task must be done before the delivery of a story…that needs to include that copy.…
