Hello!
Who are you?

What is a User Story?

As a user...

I require...

So I can...

As a goat I want a purr
programmer who can help me out
so that the work gets done
with multiple perspectives.
@GoatUserStories

But…
where do user stories
come from?

Obvious

Complicated

Complex

Chaotic

Disorder

So…
what are
we building?

Conference website

Media library API

Some blockchain
thing

Personas

As a potential
delegate...

I want to know the
date of the conference

so I can see if it suits
my schedule this year

As a future speaker...

I want to submit a talk
proposal

so I might be invited
to speak at this
conference

As a conference
organiser...

I need to review and
evaluate talk
proposals

so we can create a
good conference
program.

User roles

Anonymous users.

Authenticated users.

Admin users.

Laravel Permission Bouncer

Breaking
it down

As a speaker with
an accepted talk

I want to share my
talk on social media

so that people
will come to see it.

● social platform logos
should appear on
every talk page

● clicking on each logo
should pre-populate
a post with the URL
& session details

Getting social

Stories.

Summary
Gathering stories
● Workshops
● Interviews
● Surveys
● Competitive analysis
● Prototype and iterate
Break into chewable chunks
● INVEST
Can we get there faster by
using plugins, extensions,
modules, libraries,
frameworks?
Let’s be honest, How often are
we really building something
new? Instead, extend and
contribute to the field.
Stories are the soul of the agile
approach to software
development.
Agile manifesto: People
collaborate, product evolves.
Team work - how will we do it?
● Telling each other the stories
● Estimate effort - time, skills?
● Shared understanding of the habitat
(CYNEFIN)
Practical Examples
Personas/Roles/RBAC & Acceptance criteria
● Conference site
○ Delegate
○ Speaker
○ Organiser
● Media sharing
● Research agency
