[almighty] Clarification around Types

[Aslak Knutsen]

A few points to clear up around the generic type system.

'Epic'

In the UX designs, Epic is special, e.g. it shows up as summary points in
the same draw as Iterations and can be created directly from the
'right-click' menu:

What is the generic term/feature for this? Is the intent to be able to
define as part of the Process Template which Type should be the
'special/top' type? What is the equivalent type in the PDD style,
Vision/Experience?

'WorkItem Links hierarchy'

Same as a Feature can be a Child of an Experience, a UserStory is a Child
of an Epic. What are the Link Forward and Reverse names for this
relationship?

Relates to? Belongs to? Child of? Part of?


'Quick Add'

The QuickAdd feature is currently hard coded to add items of type
'UserStory'. With no fixed types and no option to change the type this
looks wrong.

Should the Process Definition have some option to define a 'default' Type
that should be used here?
Should the Quick Add have an option to select which type it should quick
add? Optionally, should the Quick Add remember the users previously used
type? Or possible types based on some form of role, e.g. PM's would most
likely create Experiences, SM UserStories and Devs Tasks?



PM's input appreciated.
