Artefact types
Twelve artefact types, one conversation.
An artefact type is a distinct unit of delivery work: a user story is not a bug, a decision is not an action item, and a tool that flattens them all into "notes" has not done the job. Backlog.cloud extracts twelve types from a single meeting, each anchored to the quote it came from, then pushes the ones you approve into your work management platform. The full workflow is on the meeting to backlog page. Every signed-up tier gets all twelve.
Explored in depth
User stories
INVEST stories with numbered Gherkin acceptance criteria, written to survive sprint planning, not to fill a template.
Requirements
Structured requirements documents extracted from discovery and refinement conversations, ready for stakeholder sign-off.
Bugs
Bug reports with reproduction context and severity, built from what was actually said about the failure.
Epics
Epics that carry the outcome and the shape of the work beneath them, sized for a quarter rather than a sprint.
Spikes
Time-boxed research items with a sharp question and an exit condition, for the unknowns your team keeps talking around.
BPMN process models
A validated process graph compiled to BPMN 2.0 XML, drawn from process mapping conversations. As-is and to-be variants.
The other six types
Generated with the same evidence grounding and review flow as everything above.
Tasks
Concrete, assignable units of work with owners, pulled from the commitments people make out loud.
RAID log
Risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies captured as they surface in conversation, each with an owner and severity.
Decision log
Who decided what, when, and the reasoning stated at the time. The record that ends the "did we agree to this?" argument.
Action items
Follow-ups with named owners and due dates, extracted from the moments someone says they will handle something.
Meeting minutes
Attendees, decisions and outcomes in a structured record, generated when the meeting type calls for a formal note.
Discovery packs
One living document per project, merged and versioned across discovery meetings: stakeholders, pain points, personas, open questions and a changelog, exported as .docx.
