User Stories
A user story is an informal, general explanation of a software feature written from the perspective of the end user. Its purpose is to articulate how a software feature will provide value to the customer.
User stories are often expressed in a simple sentence, structured as follows:
“As a [persona], I [want to], [so that].”
For example:
- “As a [persona]”: Who are we building this for? We’re not just after a job title, we’re after the persona of the person. Max. Our team should have a shared understanding of who Max is. We’ve hopefully interviewed plenty of Max’s. We understand how that person works, how they think and what they feel. We have empathy for Max.
Agile Prioritization
Agile prioritization is a principle that means “doing the first thing first”. As a process, it means “evaluating a group of items and ranking them in their order of importance or urgency”.
Free Agile Tools
Trello
At first glance, Trello may seem too simple to be a powerful Agile tool. And yet its cards have everything you need for effective project management. You can move cards between lists to show progress, leave comments for immediate feedback, and upload files from your desktop, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive. Not only this, but Trello will also remind you about important events with the help of notifications. Trello doesn’t have a single feature you won’t find useful and is completely free to use.
Pivotal Tracker
Pivotal tracker is a planning tool process that fosters collaboration, and dynamic tools to analyze progress, your team will deliver more frequently and consistently. Tracker helps your team better develop and keep track of them. Say goodbye to managing timelines and meeting unrealistic expectations. Pivotal Tracker is very good at what it does.
