# Reporting defects in Agile Development 2.0

Create defects for the issues that are reported for your product using Agile Development 2.0. You can then create stories for these defects so that your teams can start working on resolving them.

Defects can be used to report and track the resolution of issues noticed during the development of a new feature, or as feedback for existing features. Product owners then review these defects and decides on creating stories for them, which are assigned to the relevant assignment groups.

## User role to create defects

Users who are expected to create defects in Agile Development 2.0 must have one of the following roles:

-   feature\_user
-   scrum\_story\_creator
-   scrum\_admin

However, if a user has just the feature\_user role, they can only view the defects from the **Defects** module of the Agile Development application. They can not view the stories associated with the defects in the Stories related list of the defect record.

For information on how to create Defects, see [Report a defect in Agile Development 2.0](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/create-defect-report.md).
