What will you learn?

Wherever you go nowadays, people are busy writing user stories. Well great! But... not so great. Many of them have entered the wonderful world of writing system requirements by using user stories. It seemed like an easy change – instead of writing “The system shall do this and this.”, they are now writing, “As a user, I want the system to do this so that this is achieved.”.
Great, wouldn’t you agree? Nope! Not at all. Creating user stories is a technique that seems superficial on the outside, but it turns out to be a bit more complex.
Done wrong you will never reap the benefits. This training gets you right on track to writing good user stories.

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.
