Big thanks to @BeccaR for helping us navigate the art and science of user stories today! I have attached the meeting materials here and the video will posted once it is available. My favorite part was reviewing some real-life user stories and seeing how they could be improved.
Big take-aways:
-
End users (ideally) write user stories with guidance from the Anaplan project team
-
Good user stories are specific enough to estimate LOE, but do NOT include Anaplan-specific design components
-
User stories (and backlog) should be evergreen throughout project and after go- live.
-
Revisit all user stories periodically, add detail to existing, create net new, split user stories into multiple, etc.
-
Anaplan Way (or selected PM tool) should be a one stop shop
-
Set up expectations with functional team/SMEs that their time commitment continues throughout build & test
