Please read this entire question before you try to mark this as “too controversial”. I am actually setting up my Project Management/Bug Tracking environment with Team Foundation Server for the first time(I have used JIRA,Mantis and some other PM software before). I am fairly knew to using team foundation to anything else besides source control.
I am really trying to use the Work Items for what they were intended to be used for. Having said that, I want to make sure that when I am adding new work items, I am classifying them correctly.
When I choose to add a work Item, If have the following options to select from:
1)Bug
2)Issue
3)Shared Step
4)Task
5)Test Case
6)User Story
Obviously I am aware of what classifies a bug, this is not what is confusing me. What I would really like to know is, what classifies an issue? What technically classifies a Task? What is a user story? etc.
I know there may be some opinion in this, but I am really trying to organize the project, and separate all of these correctly.
