Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Github Issues card template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse cards that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich cards. Each team is different, and your template should evolve as your team's needs change. With that in mind, we've assembled a library of Github Issues card templates to help your team find what works. Our "Automated Testing" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Github Issues card template will match your team's stage, maturity, and purpose. Early in the product development process, your team is likely small and working on proof of concepts, where flexibility and quick pivots are key to success. Your team will likely want the lightest-weight card template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your card template will evolve with your team, and as your team grows, so will your processes. Even with team growth, it's important to document as little as possible to maintain agility. The phrase "as little as possible" is intentionally chosen. If you under-document, you will lack a history of your team's work, the decisions you made, and their "why." You don't want to over-document, either. A good barometer for this is to ask yourself, "Is someone going to read what I'm writing?" If the answer is "yes," you're probably on the right track. If the answer is "no" or "not really," you're probably over-documenting. Striking the right balance is key to maintaining your velocity, and selecting the right Github Issues card template can help you stay on the right track.

Stage-Appropriate

Ensure your template strikes the right balance between over- and under-documenting.

Flexible

Maintain flexibility as your team grows by optimizing for the least documentation possible.

Our "Automated Testing" Template

You can copy and paste this Github Issues card template into Github Issues to create your own, or use Magical.pm to generate it with AI.

Automated Testing Task

[Clearly describe the scope of test automation, including what needs to be tested and the objectives of automation.]

Current Tests

[List the existing test coverage, specifying which functionalities, components, or scenarios are already being tested.]

New Tests

[Describe the additional test cases to be implemented, including specific functionalities, edge cases, or performance tests.]

To-Do:

• [Identify and list the first actionable task for implementing the new automated tests.]
• [Specify the second actionable task related to test automation setup or execution.]
• [...continue listing all relevant tasks...]

Acceptance Criteria:

• [Clearly define the first condition that must be met for the automated tests to be considered complete.]
• [Specify the second success condition, such as test reliability, coverage percentage, or integration with CI/CD pipelines.]
• [...continue listing all acceptance criteria...]

Example

"Automated Testing" Template Example

Here's an example of our Github Issues card template in action.

Automated Testing Task

Automate regression tests for the Millennium Falcon's Hyperdrive System to ensure consistent performance across all jumps. The goal is to detect failures before they leave the crew stranded in deep space (again).

Current Tests

• Manual diagnostics performed by Chewbacca (unreliable due to frequent "aggressive encouragement" of components).
• Basic engine start-up sequence verification.
• Jump trajectory calculations tested under standard conditions.

New Tests

• Automated hyperdrive ignition test under varying gravitational conditions.
• Edge case: Simulating emergency reversion from hyperspace due to unexpected obstacles (e.g., uncharted asteroid fields, Star Destroyer blockades).
• Performance stress test to ensure optimal calculations for the Kessel Run.

To-Do:

• Implement automated scripts to validate hyperdrive function pre- and post-jump.
• Integrate tests with Falcon’s onboard diagnostics system.
• Log and analyze failure rates to predict maintenance needs.

Acceptance Criteria:

• All test cases execute successfully in the Falcon’s diagnostic system.
• Hyperdrive failures are detected before departure.
• No unplanned detours into Imperial-controlled space.

Generating Github Issues Cards with Magical.pm

While you can use this template manually in Github Issues, it's also compatible with Magical.pm, our AI card generator. Using Magical.pm, you can instantly turn natural language like "unsink the Titanic" (feeling brave?) into perfectly formatted Github Issues cards. Magical.pm works hand-in-hand with Github Issues. When you generate a card with Magical.pm, it is formatted in markdown, meaning it will perfectly copy into Github Issues, retaining everything from code blocks to headings. Internally, we copy cards from Magical.pm to Github Issues daily, making our workflows significantly faster. This workflow strikes a healthy balance: everything we love about human-generated requirements – the details and context – without the cognitive load and time overhead of perfect formatting, grammar, and writing.
