User Stories: Agile Software Development

In the book "User Stories: Agile Software Development" by Mike Cohn, which the community of agile software development supporters eagerly awaited, the process of preparing requirements for the system being developed is described, allowing for time savings, eliminating the need for rework, and leading to the creation of more refined software. The best way to create software that fully meets user needs is to start with user stories. These are simple, clear, and concise descriptions of functionality that provide business value to real users. The book provides detailed recommendations on how to write user stories and incorporate them into project development lifecycles. You will learn what makes good user stories and what makes stories bad. You will become familiar with practical methods for gathering stories that achieve good results even when direct communication with users is not possible. The author demonstrates how to systematize the prepared user stories, prioritize them, and effectively apply them to solve planning, development, and software testing tasks.
