A Reference Method for User Story Requirements in Agile Systems Development

Niels Bik, Garm Lucassen, Sjaak Brinkkemper

Abstract

User story literature nearly exclusively studies how to create, prioritise, or ensure the quality of a user story. Little is known about other activities and artefacts involved preceding or following these activities in systems development. Consequentially, software teams seeking to leverage user stories' full potential do not know how to incorporate user stories into all aspects of their software development process. This paper constructs a reference method by examining and consolidating the user story life-cycle obtained in a multi-case study research project. Practitioners can take inspiration from this method to learn the improvements possible with user stories.
