Have Epics appear as tasks in Project Workspace

[detsportsczar]

Hello, 

When I add work items to my Project (we use Epics/Features/Stories) they appear in details and I can add them to Agile Phases, but the stories do not appear in the Planning Section as Tasks, not in the Gantt chart.  The agile phases do, but you cannot add Epics or Features to the phase.

Our project managers are asking for the visibility to show the work items as tasks.  Has anyone ever had this ask before?  Has anyone ever solved this?

Thank you.

Hi @detsportsczar,

"the stories do not appear in the Planning Section as Tasks, not in the Gantt chart.  The agile phases do, but you cannot add Epics or Features to the phase." - You are correct that stories do NOT show up on the planning console under the Agile phase. However, you can get this info as to which all stories are assigned to the agile phase by clicking on the agile phase and then click on Full Details shown on the right side popup.

 

This will show up the details as shown in the below screenshot. 

It shows the stories associated with the selected agile phase and other details such as the epic of the story, state etc.

Note: By clicking on the project name chevron (in above screenshot), you can easily switch back to project planning console screen.

Hope this helps, if it does please mark it as Correct Answer to help me & community members.

Happy SPM Learning!

Thank You!
