Waterfall Project to Agile

[WendyWh]

Hello! We have a team who is interested in using Agile in Workfront for their projects. They have a project already built using standard Waterfall parent and child tasks. Is there a way to convert the existing tasks into stories so they can starting using this project in Agile? Wendy White AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. dba GM Financial

Yes, very easily actually. It's a relatively new feature, but just hit the Agile button (open the project in the Task tab) (see screen shot). Tasks = Stories in Workfront. So no need to convert them or anything. Just hit the button. Hit the List button around the same area to toggle back to the normal project view.

Thank you! I found that and tried it, but the burn down chart wasn't didn't work. I thought I was doing something wrong. I appreciate the help. Wendy White AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. dba GM Financial

Hmmm, I just looked and I appeared to be seeing the same thing. Then I realized there's a longer span of time on the project, so if you scroll the burndown to the right you should see the chart where the tasks are falling in the timeline. Just depends on how long your project is and how far it's spread out. If that's not it, then there's a bug we should probably report, because it's clear the space is there for the burndown.
