In User Stories Applied, Mike Cohn provides you with a front-to-back blueprint for writing these user stories and weaving them into your development lifecycle.

You'll learn what makes a great user story, and what makes a bad one. You'll discover practical ways to gather user stories, even when you can't speak with your users. Then, once you've compiled your user stories, Cohn shows how to organize them, prioritize them, and use them for planning, management, and testing.

<ul> <li>User role modeling: understanding what users have in common, and where they differ </li></ul><ul> <li>Gathering stories: user interviewing, questionnaires, observation, and workshops</li></ul><ul> <li>Working with managers, trainers, salespeople and other "proxies"</li></ul><ul> <li>Writing user stories for acceptance testing </li></ul><ul> <li>Using stories to prioritize, set schedules, and estimate release costs</li></ul><ul> <li>Includes end-of-chapter practice questions and exercises </li></ul>

User Stories Applied will be invaluable to every software developer, tester, analyst, and manager working with any agile method: XP, Scrum... or even your own home-grown approach.

In this book, Agile Alliance cofounder Mike Cohn discusses the philosophy of agile estimating and planning and shows you exactly how to get the job done, with real-world examples and case studies. Concepts are clearly illustrated and readers are guided, step by step, toward how to answer the following questions: What will we build? How big will it be? When must it be done? How much can I really complete by then? You will first learn what makes a good plan-and then what makes it agile.Using the techniques in Agile Estimating and Planning, you can stay agile from start to finish, saving time, conserving resources, and accomplishing more. Highlights include:- Why conventional prescriptive planning fails and why agile planning works- How to estimate feature size using story points and ideal days-and when to use each- How and when to re-estimate- How to prioritize features using both financial and nonfinancial approaches- How to split large features into smaller, more manageable ones- How to plan iterations and predict your team's initial rate of progress- How to schedule projects that have unusually high uncertainty or schedule-related risk- How to estimate projects that will be worked on by multiple teamsAgile Estimating and Planning supports any agile, semiagile, or iterative process, including Scrum, XP, Feature-Driven Development, Crystal, Adaptive Software Development, DSDM, Unified Process, and many more. It will be an indispensable resource for every development manager, team leader, and team member.]]> 2620 4.07 95 25 2005 6337518 4839924023 9784839924027 1 <![CDATA[アジャイルな見積りと計画づくり ~価値あるソフトウェアを育てる概念と技法~]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6337518 3.00 1 2620 4.07 95 25 2876000 3.00 1 1 2876001 3.00 1 1 1382643 3.00 1 1 2009 6707987 0321579364 9780321579362 0 <![CDATA[Succeeding with Agile: Software Development Using Scrum (Addison-Wesley Signature Series)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6707987-succeeding-with-agile 0.0 0 Proven, 100% Practical Guidance for Making Scrum and Agile Work in Any Organization</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">This is the definitive, realistic, actionable guide to starting fast with Scrum and agile–and then succeeding over the long haul.
