How can we write better user stories and avoid these common mistakes? Requirements vs User Story Requirements, are they the same, are user story requirements a thing? There are really only three steps in building software, having an idea of the problem that we’d like to solve, building some software to solve it and then checking that the software does what we think and solves the problem. A User Story is focused on the first step, but if we get them right they make the next two steps much easier. In this episode Dave Farley explores 5 common user story mistakes that make software engineering and continuous delivery more difficult, rather than easier. During his exploration of the mistakes, Dave describes some of the properties of better, more useful, user stories and the reasons why they are better.
