Scrappy Kimberly Wiefling Sep 20, 2023

This book focuses on what's MOST important in the product development process . . . the USERS and other stakeholders. The approaches the author shares are very powerful, and effective in turning a bunch of "requirements" into something far more rich and meaningful. There are many tools and approaches contained in this book that will help any development team avoid many predictable and avoidable causes of failures. Worth a read with your team!

The Art of Crafting User Stories is a great book for anyone who writes or wants to learn to write good user stories. While job hunting, I took a moment to read this book as a refresher, but it is much more than just the usual user story guidebook. I learned new techniques and methods for breaking down work into user stories that will be well understood with clear acceptance criteria.The book is an easy read but not boring. I will continue to use this as a reference and will highly recommend and share with my coworkers.
