There are different approaches for the creation of user stories. The analyst could create the user story work item in
IBM
Rational Team Concert while the high level requirement that originated the user story is detailed in a
requirements management tool. Alternatively, the analyst or team lead could create and detail the user story work item
in Rational Team Concert during iteration planning. In both cases the user story work item instances do not represent
the story or the work performed to implement the story, but rather only properties and status of the story. To
explicitly represent, manage, and track the concrete work to be done to realize a story, the story is refined into
development tasks as recommended by Complete Story activity.
The following table shows the Story work item state machine:
