Ultimate Guide to User Stories
User Stories Explained
What will you learn?
Dealing with business requirements
User stories are a straightforward -but not a simplistic- technique to work with system requirements. In the beginning, user stories even seem counterintuitive: to build something exact, we’re using an unprecise technique.
The 3 C's
The success of user stories comes from an interesting interplay between its three components – the 3C’s: card, conversation and confirmation. Each of these components has a particular role to fulfill. If you take one out, it’ll be hard to reap the benefits!
A guide to quality user stories
In this training, we’ll use a running example to show the role of the 3C’s. We’ll tackle the INVEST principle for good user stories, and we’ll do a critical reflection on user stories.
