USER STORY WORKSHOP by Olivier Tatiotsop

About the training

What are User Stories?

•User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system.

•They typically follow a simple template:

  As a , I want so that .

User stories are often written on index cards or sticky notes, stored in a shoebox, and arranged on walls or tables to facilitate planning and discussion. As such, they strongly shift the focus from writing about features to discussing them. In fact, these discussions are more important than whatever text is written.
