User Stories Applied

The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by Extreme Programming. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects, not just those using XP. In this tutorial we will look at how to identify and write good user stories. The class will describe the six attributes all good stories must 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.

Also covered will be how to estimate user stories, how to use stories for release and iteration planning, and the role of stories in the ongoing management of the project. During this tutorial we will have the opportunity to practice on a case study. We will identify user roles, write stories, and then develop a release plan, including a schedule for the release. 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.
