How to use Wrike’s software template
Our software template can help you transform your work management. Simplify everything from bug reporting to feature requesting, and gain full visibility of team progress with real-time data.
Here are a few ways you can use the template:
Report bugs and request features with dynamic request forms
Monitor progress, categorize features, and assign business importance with custom fields
Set up epics, user stories, bugs, and requests using custom item types
You can use the software template to streamline your Agile work management, using the core building components of epics, user stories, bugs, and requests to map out the software development process.
Enter your business email and use the software template workflow to start creating custom processes for your team.
The Agile methodology lends itself well to software development and DevOps projects. Using Kanban boards, for example, you can easily map out and visualize your product backlog. Drag and drop individual tasks to represent progress to the next stage such as “Testing” or “Development.”
An Agile epic is a single piece of work that you can divide into individual tasks known as user stories. Agile stories or user stories are the building blocks of epics and are typically produced with the end user’s perspective in mind.
