Hi

This idea is essentially building on the Persona functionality where you can quickly create and describe an 'actor' in the system.

By taking the persona functionality and making it generic, TeamPulse could be used to capture and describe any system artefact.

For example, use cases and user stories are often peppered with domain specific terminology, e.g. CDOs, CLOs, Cedent, retrocession etc etc.

If TeamPulse allowed you to create definition artifacts, subsequent readers of the user story would be able to click on the artefact and get a description. You would also be able to trace all references to particular artifact.

I first came across this functionality in Objectory (Ivar Jacobson's casetool) in the early 1990s.
It was an immediate hit with the BAs because they now had a defined data dictionary. 
Developers new to the domain benefitted from the extra information allowing them to come to terms with the domain (if you pardon the pun).

Regards

Aidan

Hello Aidan,

Thanks for the great feedback! We have a similar feature in our backlog involving a sort of glossary of terms and definitions that can be linked to from Personas or Stories. This feature is in the Idea stages currently and could be extended a bit into even more generic Artifacts as you suggest. We do hope to add this functionality to TeamPulse in the future.

Great suggestion, I have updated your account with some Telerik points.

Best wishes,
Ryan

Hi, was this ever implemented?  We are looking for a better way to define objects in our Team Pulse.  Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,

The glossary feature has not yet been added to TeamPulse. I have noted your request for this feature. Another similar feature we have talked about is some sort of Project Wiki. 

Thanks for the feedback!

All the best,

Could you vote this feature for me too? We are using some workarounds now (Creating stories, personas or using a external wiki depending on the case) but we would like to have all at the same place.
