Why Should Teams Find Common Attributes Across Work Item Types?
Finding and standardizing common attributes across work item types simplifies the Product Backlog and enhances transparency by reducing unnecessary complexity.
Metaphor
Standardizing common attributes across work item types is like switching from a junk drawer to labeled containers; it turns a grab-bag of randomness into something organized, searchable, and easy to navigate. This clarity transforms your Product Backlog from a cluttered catch-all into a transparent, dependable planning tool.
