SharePoint Agile Story Template

When using Agile and SharePoint, it’s important to utilize a simple template for a story. By having a template, it will help the development process of what is actually needed to be built. As an example, a template is as such:

FOR <customers>

WHO <need a piece of functionality>

THE <product>

IS A <product category>

THAT <key benefit>

UNLIKE <competition, alternative>

OUR PRODUCT <differentiating statement>

Filled in, this could be as such:

FOR <human resources department>

WHO <need a web-part to display frequently asked questions>

THE <frequently asked questions knowledgebase>

IS A <dropdown of choices of key departments>

THAT <are listed by category>

UNLIKE <the information technology web-part frequently asked questions>

OUR PRODUCT <will allow users ti pick the proper category then allow a response to the requestor via e-mail>
