How they fit together
The building blocks
Workspace
Your company’s account: its members, projects and billing.
Project
One app: its code, architecture, rules and work.
Initiative
A larger goal that Iron Octopus plans as several features.
Feature
One change to your app, from its plan to its release.
Requirement
What done means for a feature. Each one is verified.
Work item
One piece of the work inside a feature, built and reviewed on its own.
Defect report
A problem you found, and the fix that follows.
Architecture
The blueprint for your app that every feature is planned to fit.
How work flows through them
- You describe an idea in a project.
- Iron Octopus plans it. A small idea becomes one feature. A larger one becomes an initiative with several features.
- Each feature gets requirements that define done, and work items that make up the work.
- Iron Octopus builds and reviews the work items, verifies the requirements, and the feature is released.
- If you find a problem later, a defect report turns it into a fix, which is a new feature that goes through the same steps.
