This document discusses turning user stories into websites. It covers gathering stories through workshops, interviews, surveys, and competitive analysis. Stories should be broken into independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable chunks. Examples are provided for developing personas, roles, and acceptance criteria for different types of websites like a conference site. The document stresses collaborating as a team by telling stories, estimating effort, and achieving shared understanding of the project habitat using frameworks like Cynefin. The overall goal is for the product to evolve through iterative story development and teamwork.

As a future speaker...

50. @kattekrab #pyconau
I want to submit a talk
proposal

51. @kattekrab #pyconau
so I might be invited to
speak at this
conference

52. @kattekrab #pyconau
As a conference
organiser...

53. @kattekrab #pyconau
I need to review and
evaluate talk proposals

54. @kattekrab #pyconau
so we can create a good

Breaking
it down

63. @kattekrab #pyconau
As a speaker with
an accepted talk

64. @kattekrab #pyconau
I want to share my
talk on social media

so that people
will come to see it.

66. @kattekrab #pyconau
● social platform logos
should appear on
every talk page

68. @kattekrab #pyconau
● clicking on each logo
should pre-populate a
post with the URL &
session details

80. Summary
Gathering stories
● Workshops
● Interviews
● Surveys
● Competitive analysis
● Prototype and iterate
Break into chewable chunks
● INVEST
Can we get there faster by
using plugins, extensions,
modules, libraries,
frameworks?
Let’s be honest, How often
are we really building
something new? Instead,
extend and contribute to the
field.
Stories are the soul of the
agile approach to software
development.
Agile manifesto: People
collaborate, product evolves.
Team work - how will we do it?
● Telling each other the stories
● Estimate effort - time, skills?
● Shared understanding of the habitat
