User Stories for Agile Requirements

The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects.

In this tutorial, we will look at how to identify and write good user stories. The session will describe the six attributes all good stories should exhibit and present thirteen guidelines for writing better stories. We will explore how user role modeling can help when gathering a project’s initial stories. During this hands-on tutorial we will have the opportunity to practice identifying user roles and writing stories on a case study. This tutorial will be equally suited for programmers, testers, managers and even customers and analysts who are interested in applying these agile techniques to their projects.
