Editor's Notes

- User stories are a well-established way to record requirements in agile projects. A User Story is a brief statement of intent that describes something the system needs to do for the user. User stories are a tool for defining a system’s behavior in a way that is understandable to both the developers and users.
- Reduce the risks of failing commitment Fastest learners win Large Items are harder to plan/estimate Progress = Happiness Release = Value

User stories are a tool for defining a system’s behavior in a way that is understandable to both the developers and users.
- a user story is not a contract for specific functionality, but rather a placeholder for requirements to be discussed, developed, tested, and accepted This process of negotiation between the business and the team recognizes the legitimacy and primacy of the business inputs, but allows for discovery through collaboration and feedback.
- a story can be developed, tested, and potentially even delivered, on its own
- Value is the most important attribute in the INVEST model and every user story must provide some value to the user, customer, or stakeholder of the product While normally the value is focused on the user interacting with the system, sometimes the value is more appropriately focused on a customer representative or key stakeholder
- The minimal investment in estimation is to determine if it can be completed within a single iteration. Additional estimation accuracy will increase the team’s predictability. One of the primary benefits of estimating user stories is not simply to derive a precise size, but rather to draw out any hidden assumptions, missing acceptance criteria, and to clarify the team’s shared understanding of the story. Thus, the conversation surrounding the estimation process is as (or more) important, than the actual estimate
- Increased Throughput From queuing theory, we know that smaller batch sizes go through a system faster Decreased Complexity Smaller stories not only go through faster because of their raw, proportional size, but they go through faster yet because of their decreased complexity, and complexity has a non-linear relationship to size
