Pro Tips
Pro Tips
This is where you provide the inputs and set the parameters for the AI.
Pro Tip #1: Data Privacy First
Your privacy and the privacy of your customers is paramount. Remember, never input personal or customer data into Storygenie. Our system is designed to generate Epics and User Stories based on general information and requirements. If you need to include user-specific scenarios, always use fictional characters or roles instead. Your project's security matters to us!
Pro Tip #2: Optimal Epic & Story Generation
For the most comprehensive set of User Stories, consider generating a single Epic first using the 'Prompt Enhancer'. Then, copy the generated Epic description and use it as your next prompt (feel free to use 'Prompt Enhancer' again) for generating multiple User Stories. After your new stories are created, simply assign them to your Epic. This iterative approach ensures your stories are directly relevant and detailed to your Epic's context.
Pro Tip #3: Overcoming Prompter's Block
If you're uncertain about what features you want or need inspiration, Storygenie can help. Select 'Multiple User Stories' from the generate dropdown, then create a broad prompt like 'All the latest features expected from a geospatial information system (GIS) for a physical infrastructure provider'. Use the 'Enhance Prompt' feature and then click 'Generate'. Storygenie will create a comprehensive set of User Stories for you to choose from. It's like brainstorming with a digital expert!
Pro Tip #4: Agile Adjustments
Remember, Storygenie is designed to adapt just like your projects do. If you've forgotten an important detail in your Epic, don't worry. Simply update the Epic description and then use 'Storygenie Unleashed' again. Your revised Epic will prompt a new set of User Stories, ensuring you're always prepared for the most detailed parts of your project. It's never been easier to adjust your plan on the fly!
Pro Tip #5: Optimize Your Workspace
Want a more spacious view of the Storygenie results pane? You can quickly gain additional horizontal screen space by collapsing the Jira project menu. Just click on the arrow near the Jira project menu pane to hide it. This will give you a broader view of your generated Epics and User Stories, making your user experience even more comfortable and efficient. Remember, you can always expand the menu again when you need it!
