This commit introduces essential enhancements to our user story template by adding sections for Priority, Estimates, Technical Notes and Constraints, and Dependencies. These additions are crucial for several reasons: - **Priority**: Establishing a priority level (High, Medium, Low) is vital for aligning our development efforts with the project's strategic objectives. It ensures that the team focuses on what's most important, improving resource allocation and project planning. - **Estimates**: Providing effort estimates, whether in time units or a point system, enables better forecasting and project management. It helps set realistic timelines and expectations for stakeholders and team members alike. - **Technical Notes and Constraints**: Outlining technical considerations and constraints upfront aids in identifying potential challenges early in the development process. This proactive approach facilitates smoother implementation and can help mitigate risks associated with technical debt and integration issues. - **Dependencies**: Documenting dependencies on other user stories, tasks, or functionalities is crucial for understanding the broader project ecosystem. It helps in scheduling and prioritizing work, preventing bottlenecks, and ensuring a coherent development flow.
