Stage 1- Defining the Product

Elevator Test FormatFor (target customer)Who (statement of need or opportunity)The (product name) is a (product category)That (key benefit, compelling reason to buy)Unlike (primary competitive alternative)Our product (statement of primary differentiation)

For midsized companies’ distribution warehouses who need advanced carton movement functionality, the Supply-Robot is a robotically controlled system that provivides dynamic warehouse reallocation and truck loading of multisized cartons that reduces distribution costs and loading time. Unlike competitive product, our product is a highly automated and aggressively priced.

Stage 3- The Stories“Promise for a future conversation.”

You have to INVEST in your user stories.

What makes a Best Seller?

Sized right

Testable

What is a Story not?

Stories are not:…“mini” Use Cases…a complete specification…a contract…intended to be interpreted without a Product Owner

Manager

EPICS: One SIZE DOESN’T

Are usually compound Stories, that can be broken down into several smaller, more focused storiesMay encompass enough work for several Sprints (iterations)

VisionUse CasesEpicsUser StoriesDeveloper StoriesTasks

Epic Breakdown

“I’m not sure I understand this, can you be more specific?” “That’s awfully fuzzy, I’m not sure what to do.” “This is at least three months of work!”“We can’t make this smaller, it won’t fit in the sprint.”

Epic Breakdown

Find the Conjunctions- At every “and”, “or,” “before,” etc., you make a new story.Generic Words- Narrow the ambiguity of ‘fuzzy’ words to create many stories. (I.E. log into PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad)Reverse the Acceptance- Your acceptance criteria can become stories. (I.E. Must have room service in a hotel becomes a story)Time Line- How does done look, in order? Do we have all the pieces? “And then what happens?”

Is it Cooked Yet?If you can’t measure it, how do you know if it is Rare or Well Done?

NEVER TOO EARLY:As a meat lover I want variety so that I will keep coming back to my favorite restaurant.

- Provides meat from many (5+) global locations- Kitchen equipped with grills, stoves, ovens for various cooking methods- Comfortable dining conditions- Complimentary extras

Stage 4- Estimating

Story Point Estimating

Not just for Engineers

Everything is a P0

Business Value

Business Value Estimating

Say No to Planning Poker

Focus is on each individual Story.Unconscious value is nearly impossible to not assign.Can easily dive into the implementation details.

Team Estimation Game

Fully team interactive- there are no silent riders

Relativistic Estimating- each story is compared to those around it

Focuses on complexity- is the DB harder or easier to code than the UI

Easy Hard

See? No Story Points yet.

Easy Hard

Nope, still no Story Points.
