Announcements:

• Exercise 7: Team User Stories

  The primary goal of user stories is to capture a specific need or goal of a user in the context of software development. It's about "what the user wants to do" or "achieve" with the software.

  Examples:

  • "Shopping Cart" "Add item to cart"

  • "Profile Settings" "Update profile settings"

  • Common Action Verbs: View, Create, Edit, Update, Delete, Remove, Add, Search, Find, Register, Sign up, Upload, Download, Share, Save, Submit, Purchase, Buy, Review, Rate, Filter, Sort, Select, Play, Pause, Stop, Invite, Sync

  Benefits of Action-Oriented Titles:

  • Clarity Action-oriented titles make it clear what the expected outcome or behavior of the system should be.
  • Focus on Value Emphasizing actions reminds the team to focus on delivering value and functionality rather than just creating artifacts.
  • Facilitates Testing Deriving test cases from action-oriented stories is easier.
