ProTip #1
Not all stories need to be written in the same format.
Technical or constraint stories may need a different structure.
ProTip #2
The story text on the card is less important than
the conversations everyone has about the card.
Story Points
During planning, we give each story a number of story points
which try to estimate the effort required to complete it.
Story points help us to better plan what we can achieve each sprint.
Stakeholders have lots of ideas
They are not limited to 4-6 ideas per week
Every time something is delivered they will have new ideas
These cannot be allowed overload the team
Remember the teams capacity is 4-6 per week
Overloading causes
Multitasking, demotivation, interruptions
what do we build this week
Team weekly velocity is 4-6 stories
P.O. needs to work out which 4-6 stories should be built this week
A backlog is used to queue the stakeholder ideas
Called a Product Backlog
Over time can become large
Items can get ‘old’ in the queue
P.O needs to have authority to say NO!
