User story writing - a digital skill set that will make you 3 times more valuable in your company and worldwide marketplace

Hi Friend,


I was speaking to one of our DAPM™ (Digital Agile Product Manager) programme candidates about her ongoing project when she asked- why do some product requirements need so much rework? She was clearly facing that challenge. 

We talked for a while, and to make the story short, I responded to her - There is rework on product requirements when we write user stories at 30,000 feet above sea level. At that level, the user story is vague, ambiguous and incomplete.

Our laughter and jokes around this subject aside, she was hinting on something at the foundation of user story writing as a skill set.

 

  

We all know requirements are a key deliverable for all product teams.


As a digital professional (Product manager, products owner or business analyst) we often jump into documenting needs, wants, wants, change requests and expect to produce a complete, clear and consistent user story.

This is a hard bullet to bite, but this miracle is not going to happen…until you change the way of writing user stories for your digital product.


User story writing is a skill that requires practice. You need to get the foundations right before you can become a master at it.
