These tools enable key actions such as adding scrum tasks, handling dependencies, splitting stories, converting stories into epics, and copying stories. Utilizing these options improves story organization and tracking throughout the agile development lifecycle. Show full answer Show less ## Related Links * **Split Story:** Allows you to divide a story into two by creating a new story with identical details. Incomplete tasks move to the new story. This action is restricted if the story state is Cancelled or Completed, or if the Original task field references non-story records. * **Add Scrum Tasks:** Lets you create multiple scrum tasks linked to the story, which then appear in the Scrum Tasks related list. * **Convert into Epic:** Converts an active story into an epic and cancels the original story. If the story is too large, converting it to an epic lets you break it down into multiple stories. If associated with an existing epic, the new epic becomes a child of that epic; otherwise, it is standalone. The new epic starts in the Draft state. * **Copy Story:** Creates a new story by copying details, tests, and tasks from an existing active story. The new story starts in the Draft state. This option is unavailable for stories added from the triage board and has similar restrictions as Split Story regarding state and Original task field. ## Related Lists * **Scrum Tasks:** Displays scrum tasks linked to the story. You can add new scrum tasks directly here. * **Prerequisite Stories:** Lists stories that must be completed before the current story can be finished. You can edit this list to add prerequisites. * **Dependent Stories:** Lists stories that depend on the current story. You can edit to add dependent stories. * **Tests:** Allows adding existing tests to the story. These tests appear on the Sprint Tracking tab during the sprint. ## Practical Use for ServiceNow Customers ServiceNow customers can leverage these related links and lists to streamline agile story management. Splitting large stories, converting stories into epics, and managing scrum tasks and dependencies directly from the Story form makes planning and tracking more efficient. Adding tests ensures quality is integrated into your agile process and visible on Agile Boards during sprints. Use the related links and related lists on the Story form for the actions that you need to perform on your story in Agile Development 2.0, such as adding scrum tasks, dependencies, or splitting the story. {#agile-2-0-story-related-lists-related-links__table_fvc_l4s_klb__entry__2} | Name | Description | |-|-| | Split Story | Splits the story into two stories by creating a new story with the same details. Any incomplete tasks from the old story are moved to this new story. Note: State of the Story cannot be Cancelled or Completed, and the Original task field, if present, cannot contain a non-story record such as a Catalog Task or Defect. | | Add Scrum Tasks | Enables you to create multiple scrum tasks for the current story. The scrum tasks are listed in the Scrum Tasks related list of the story.

If the story that you created is too large, you can convert it into an epic and then break it down into multiple stories. * If this story is already associated with an epic, then the story is turned into a child epic for this epic.For example, STRY01 is converted to EPIC01. If STRY01 was associated with EPIC02, then EPIC01 becomes a child epic to EPIC02. Otherwise, EPIC01 is created as a standalone epic. * The state of the newly created epic is automatically set to Draft. * The canceled story is associated with the newly created epic. {#agile-2-0-story-related-lists-related-links__ul_gvc_l4s_klb} | | Copy Story | Copies the details of an existing active story to a new story.
