A Standardized Procedure to Conceptualizing and Completing User Stories
Matthew Ormsby, Curtis Busby-Earle · 2017
Agile Software Development incorporates an approach called user stories to document user driven features. A user story is a form of requirements written from the perspective of the user role that the feature will be most inclined towards. Every scrum team has its own definition of completion for a user story based on knowledge of the domain and technology the solution is being developed to satisfy. Within an organizational setting, this often results in a difference in the definition of complete for a user story as team members move across different teams. This paper will outline a generic set of steps aimed at standardizing the procedure utilized in documenting a user story. We will demonstrate that this procedure assists development teams in arriving at a consensus on when a user story is deemed complete.
