Admin — Text Templates
Create reusable text snippets for Feature descriptions, Story acceptance criteria, sprint goals, and release notes — reducing repetitive typing and enforcing consistent format.
Template types
Feature description — Pre-fills the Feature description field. Good for enforcing a standard structure (e.g. Problem / Solution / Value / Risks).
Story description — Per story type (User Story, Bug, Spike). Pre-fills the story description field.
Acceptance criteria — Standard AC formats (Given/When/Then, bullet checklist).
Sprint goal — Prompt template for writing a good sprint goal (e.g. "By the end of this sprint, we will have [outcome] so that [stakeholder benefit]").
Release notes — Standard release notes structure (What's New / Bug Fixes / Known Issues).
Retrospective prompts — Custom prompts for Went Well / To Improve / Actions columns.
Using templates
When creating a new entity, click the Insert Template button in the relevant field to select and insert a pre-configured template. Templates are inserted at the cursor position — existing content is not replaced.
Tips
- Keep templates lean — a long template that no one completes fully is worse than no template.
- Review templates at retrospectives — if the team consistently removes the same section, remove it from the template.
