In a Certified ScrumMaster course this week one of the teams created some haiku on the topic of user stories. Here is what they came up with:
INVEST your time in telling stories that give you meaning moving on…
Unique perspective inward and outward focused simply understood
The user wishes to do something on the site they do not know why
Start with a user a new or improved feature gives us the value
As a Scrum novice I want to learn this method so that we can plan
The confirmation makes conversation simple and settles details
Not bad for 5 minutes worth of work. Some of the items that were referenced:
- INVEST model
- User Story template
- 3 C’s of a User Story
Hi Chris
I read this post a few weeks ago and this one stuck in my head “The confirmation makes conversation simple and settles details”. For me one of biggest wins early in our move to Agile was the linking of User Acceptance Tests to User Stories. Product owner to team, “this is what I want and this is how I will test it” Clear, direct and to the point.
