POOR QUALITY USER STORIES
#agiledelivery
“Agile's allure led many firms to abandon formal requirements in favor of user stories and conversations.
In the shift, requirements often disappeared. Dev teams must blend practices to capture requirements,
matching approach to problem.”
Forrester Research
“Most of the issues with gathering requirements in agile software development and agile testing derive
from issues with User Stories. Somehow expressing requirements in such a simple form causes a lot of
trouble to agile teams.”
Scrum Alliance
“Organizations transitioning to Agile in earnest must also comply with regulations and deal with a 'living
set' of requirements from release to release. Blueprint addresses these challenges.”
Atlassian
“Can your team write good user stories? If not, you won’t be able to write good acceptance criteria.”
Tom Murphy, Gartner

KEY TAKEAWAYS
#agiledelivery

management not addressed in popular agile tools
