User Stories
Interested in writing user stories? In this session we will introduce user stories (10 minutes), and then move straight into learning by doing; that is, writing stories (60 minutes). We will close the session by developing a user story checklist (20 minutes).
By the end of the session you will have:
- written stories that work for users (and not just technical people)
- written acceptance criteria for the stories
- planned a short-release using stories
- .... and experienced the importance of the conversations that stories can help to generate.
But mostly you will have gained some practical experience, made some mistakes (in a safe environment) and learnt from them ... so that tomorrow you'll be in a much better position to write (effective) stories on your project.
Audience
This tutorial is aimed at anyone - but most specifically at customers, analysts and project managers - who wants to understand how to effectively create user stories on an agile project.
