Agile Teams Flashcards
Agile Teams use User Stories to deliver work
User Stories are short descriptions of a small piece of desired functionality. They provide just enough information for both the business and technical people to understand the intent.
User Stories:
Represent a piece of work that can be completed in an iteration, typically a 2-week period of time or less
Are written from the perspective of the customer
Writing your User Story
Since User Stories focus on the system benefits to the user, User Stories are focused on value.
To support this, the user-voice format for story writing is as follows:
As a (user role), I want to (activity), so that (business value).
By using this format, teams try to understand who is using the system, what they are doing with it, and why they are doing it. Applying the user-voice format increases the team’s domain competence: they can better understand the real needs of their user.
Different teams use various Agile methodologies to get work done. Teams use XP, Scrum, Kanban, or a mix of all three to find a way that works best for them.
