Conventions
In the default mode ("ms project"), every top-level node of the MS Project file will become a Project, nodes below that will become Iterations and Stories, respectively.
If the Note text of a Story-Level node matches, Tasks will be created. For this to work, the keyword "task: " must be there, as follows:
This is a sample Story text.
Some additional Text.
task: Frobnicate Whizbangs task: Kaboodle Whizbangs # 17 # alfred,josef task: Management Meeting # 8 # catbert
A story with the above text will get three tasks:
- task 1: Frobnicate Whizbangs, no estimate, assigned to nobody
- task 2: Kaboodle Whizbangs, estimate 17 hours, assigned to alfred and josef
- task 3: Management Meeting, estimate 8 hours, assigned to catbert
