User stories: Common challenges
- User stories aren't required in Agile, but many teams still have them. Your story should contain a clear value statement, and it should be written from the perspective of the user. Still, when teams are starting out, they'll usually have a few common challenges. So let's take a look at our task board. As a restaurant owner, I want to be able to print out, email, and text my reservation list so that we know how many people to expect. This story isn't independent, it has a long list of value statements, so it's really three stories in one. This would make it very difficult to estimate and deliver. So let's take a look at another one. As a customer, I want an email copy of my receipt so I can have it on my phone. This story doesn't have a clear value statement. It doesn't say why the customer might value a copy on their phone. So the Agile team won't have the flexibility to find the best way of satisfying the customer. Maybe they want a copy so they can order the same thing next time…
