Getting User Stories Right – How to bridge the gap between what users need and products serve
User stories are now widely accepted as an organizing unit among agile software engineers. However, many user stories in agile everyday life are nothing more than dressed up tasks or feature requests. This may be enough when it comes to breaking down complexity or tracking “some kind of” progress – but with this understanding you painfully miss the original point of user stories, which is to keep user needs in mind before, during and after implementation.
In the talk, Thomas Immich from Centigrade will explain why user stories should not only be written by product owners or software engineers and show how UX managers can initiate more sustainable user stories that make it into the sprint, even if they originated very early. Thomas will introduce the “User Booklet Method” as an agile organizational model to collect work products and artifacts vertically rather than horizontally. He will also explain the INVEST principle, which can serve as a guide for effectively writing user stories with high quality, practicality and user-centricity in real projects.
