Scenario

Stakeholders at GoGoRoad want to develop a new roadside assistance application to streamline operations for customer roadside assistance requests. Using the scope for the Minimum Loveable Product (MLP) and incremental releases, stakeholders want to track the current development progress of the Assistance Request Case Type and determine the next highest priority functionality to develop in the future. To facilitate progress tracking, stakeholders and the Pega team have identified and prioritized a product backlog.

To prepare for development, the business architect (BA) must populate the backlog and update the user stories to include the feature, subfeature, owner, and due date. GoGoRoad uses Agile Workbench to manage and prioritize the work. The team created the user stories in an XSLX file specially formatted for Agile Workbench import. Use the XSLX file to import user stories and populate the backlog.

As a new System Architect, your Lead System Architect provides you with a collection of technical documentation links to help you get started.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:
