8 User Stories From Extreme Programming framework (not Scrum) Originally had no standard format, just the 3-C process: Card: craft a title and short description that fits on one index card Conversation: talk with users & developers about it and iterate Confirmation: how will we know we ve got it? (Acceptance criteria!) Standardized format helped people get it <Title>: As a <user>, I want <behavior>, so that <business value>. Or just: Title: who?, what?, why?

12 User Story* Mapping Product Backlogs are onedimensional This makes it difficult to see the workflow, relationships, and dependencies Story maps help visualize and plan upcoming work They foster collaboration by providing different perspectives * Maps do not necessarily use user story format. Instead the map tells the story of how the user uses the product. July 2015 COPYRIGHT 2015 AGILITY SOFTWARE 12

13 Story Mapping What are all the things that you do to get ready to go to work? Starting from the moment you wake up until you arrive there Write one item per sticky note; use verbs! Group them into similar kinds of things Label the groups as activities What things would you do if you only have 15 minutes before you leave for work? Move those higher, other things lower Now, what if you only had 5 minutes? July 2015 COPYRIGHT 2015 AGILITY SOFTWARE 13
