3. The seeded backlog

The first two chapters used an empty repo so you could see how an agilemarkdown project comes into being. From here on we switch to a seeded fixture so the examples have realistic depth: multiple epics, six iterations of history, release markers, an iteration override that scaled the team's strength down for one week.

The fixture is built by scripts/build-demo.sh, which seeds 54 stories across five epics in the meadow the tutorial prologue introduced. This is the fixture every subsequent chapter operates on; you can reproduce it locally:

bash scripts/build-demo.sh /tmp/am-demo
am serve --root /tmp/am-demo --port 8080
open http://localhost:8080
