Story Tools for Pivotal Tracker

Converts stories with tasks into epics with stories.

• If “Feature Creeps” keep loading up your stories with tasks you can fight back by converting the stories with tasks into epics with individual stories. Any tasks already checked off will be treated as finished stories when converted.
• If you are brainstorming around crucial dates or events you can make them the name of a story and load up the stories with tasks before converting them to epics with stories.
• If stories are too vague or nonfunctional but you don’t want to lose them, simply add in the specific tasks and make the original an epic with the tasks as stories.

Clones stories.

• Keep a list of your favorite best practices and feature sets to clone whenever you like, saving time in your brainstorming sessions.
• You will keep the full description along with the name, type, labels, tasks, and even task status.

Even clone Epics.

• Full clusters of activity can be saved as stories with tasks, then duplicated and converted to Epics. That’s as good as it gets since Pivotal won’t let users select epics.
