Implementation Strategy

Reuse Epic Pattern Strategy

Key Insight: Story detail page is 85% similar to Epic detail page

Reuse Plan:

1. Copy Epic detail page structure → Story detail page
2. Adapt Epic form enhancements → Story form
3. Reuse Epic card patterns → Story card component
4. Copy Epic status/priority logic → Story metadata

Benefits:

• Consistency: Visual and interaction consistency across the app
• Speed: 50-60% faster development through code reuse
• Quality: Proven patterns, fewer bugs
• Maintenance: Shared components easier to maintain

Story vs Epic Differences

Key Distinctions:

1. Stories have Tasks, Epics have Stories
2. Stories are smaller, typically 1-2 week effort
3. Stories have acceptance criteria, Epics have high-level goals
4. Stories assignable to individuals, Epics to teams
5. Stories more granular tracking, Epics high-level progress

Implementation Impact:

• Story detail shows Task list (not Story list)
• Story form includes acceptance criteria field
• Story cards show Task count (not Story count)
• Story hierarchy: Epic → Story → Task

Definition of Done

• All P0 and P1 stories completed (Stories 1-4)
• Story detail page accessible and fully functional
• Users can create and manage Tasks within Stories
• Enhanced Story form includes all UX-designed fields
• Quick Add workflow enables rapid Story creation
• All acceptance criteria met for completed stories
• TypeScript types updated for new fields
• No console errors or warnings
• Manual testing passed on Chrome/Firefox/Edge
• Mobile responsive design verified
• Code reviewed and approved
• Documentation updated

Backend API Verification Checklist

Frontend team should verify these before Day 1:

• GET /api/v1/stories/{id} returns Story with all fields
• GET /api/v1/stories/{id}/tasks returns Task list
• POST /api/v1/tasks with storyId creates Task correctly
• PUT /api/v1/stories/{id} accepts all fields
• DELETE /api/v1/stories/{id} cascades to Tasks
• Multi-tenant isolation works (cannot access other tenant Stories)
