Nouns, Verbs, and Tags

Do I need to use Nouns and Verbs? Can't I just use tags?

No you do not need to use nouns and verbs, you can just use tags. And you don't need to use tags either.

Why Do I Need Three Kinds of Tags?

Because while everyone today understands the use of Tags and Labels to help find or organize information, Runcible satisfies the needs of advanced users too. And advanced users very often make use of both physical and functional tags. So Runcible provides Physical tags: Nouns, Functional tags: Verbs, and Arbitrary Tags: Tags/Labels).

The Nouns Panel

What are Nouns? (Things That Tend To Stay The Same)

A physical goal that you're trying to achieve or maintain across multiple projects and deliverables in the same program. See "Using the Nouns Panel".

Tip: Nouns are an Advanced Feature. Creative, Marketing and Software talent will often use them. In agile management, nouns generally refer to Feature areas or 'Components'.

Examples

We provide examples to choose from, or you can just type your own.

The Verbs Panel (Things That Tend To Get Completed)

What are Verbs?

A verb is a Goal that you're trying to achieve across multiple projects and deliverables in the same program, that helps people do something.

Use verbs and nouns to tie parts of projects or deliverables together.

Examples

Epics - Collections of stories that achieve a business goal

Initiatives or Programs — Collections of problems, opportunities, or goals on many projects that together achieve an abstract business objective

We provides some examples to choose from, or you can just type your own.

Tip: Verbs are an Advanced Feature. Creative, Marketing, and Software talent will often use them. In agile management, nouns generally refer to "Epics'. Epics (think of story arcs in a novel), contain Stories (think of chapters in the novel). And Stories contain Tasks (Think of scenes in a novel).

The Tags Panel (Everything Else)

A label that you want to put on tasks so that you can group them together or find them.

There are no default tags.

Tip: Tags are a Basic Feature. Everyone will probably use them.
