Talk:User story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeff Patton has raised a legitimate issue with the description of User Story as a "requirement". As Jeff points out, XP practitioners see a story as a "promise for a conversation".

See The eXtreme Programming description of a story

Also look at Dan North's very useful guide to story content from Behaviour Driven Development.

Why is there no reference to Mike Cohn's work with User Stories? Many Agile software development practitioners acknowledge his leadership in this area. His book "User Stories Applied" is arguably the best current reference on the topic. His web site contains further information.

[edit] Other Methodologies and Models

I feel it is important to note that user stories are not limited to Extreme Programming. Other models, including non-Agile models like the Unified Process use user stories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.210.232.62 (talk) 18:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
