There are:

There is one card type in the project: "Story"

Card properties

Transitions

All the transitions in this template are used to help impose a simple workflow allowing users to move stories between statuses. For example, using the "Move Story to Open" transition will set the story to the status "Open" and request the user add an estimate to the story. This will help ensure that all open and closed stories have an estimate.
