Let’s talk about
requirements
Give me an
example.
Have
you thought
about …
Isn’t
there something
else that needs to
happen?
Is that
always true?
What would
happen if … ?

A sample rule
Only library members are
permitted to reserve items
@sebrose seb.rose@smartbear.com
Reserving a book at the library
At the library, it’s free to take out books that are on the shelves,
but there is a charge of $1 if you want to reserve an item that’s
currently out on loan. Apply reservation charges to
library members
Members pay a reservation
charge of $1
Andrew reserves a book


He is charged $1
Andrew reserves two books


He is charged $1
$1 $2
per item
Is there a limit to
the number of
books that can be
reserved?
@sebrose seb.rose@smartbear.com
Andrew reserves a book


He is charged $1
Andrew is a library member
Context
Action
Outcome
Andrew reserves one book
Andrew is charged $1

reservation charge of $1 per item

@sebrose seb.rose@smartbear.com
Keep example mapping
short


(less than 30 minutes)
Not everyone need attend
(6 or fewer)
All unanswered questions
should have owners
Schedule example mapping
daily


(after stand-up)
Business, dev, & test
needed to be quorate


(3 amigos)
PO/BA brings story &
candidate rules


(not examples)
Try to write examples
fi
rst, rather than talk
Give team at least 24
hours notice about story
being discussed


(select relevant expertise)
In my experience …
High bandwidth is priority


(don’t use Given/When/
Then) during Discovery
