Why need a glossary?

There are a couple of terms thrown around in the bookshelf documentation that you might not be familiar with. This glossary should help you understand what they mean.

Bookshelf

A bookshelf is a representation of the whole collection of work that you have planned, are doing or have done.

Story

A story is a representation of a larger piece of work that you have to do. In the agile development world, this is usually a user story, but could also represent a subtask or an epic. It is simply a piece of work.

Chapter

A chapter is the representation of the individual chunks of time you have dedicated to a story. By measuring the chunks of time you are actively developing a story, you can get a better idea of how long it will take to complete.
