Epics and Personas – Part 3
Story-Writing Workshops
Another excellent method for collecting details about epics and user stories is to set up a workshop and invite along the users, the Scrum team, and any other relevant stakeholders. During the session, the attendees will brainstorm and provide their feedback on the list of requirements. By gathering everyone in one place like this, the time can be used productively to delve into the different aspects and nuances of the features in question, thereby allowing the Product Owner to elaborate on several user stories within a relatively short space of time.
Questionnaires
Questionnaires are useful when there is a large user population and a deeper level of detail is needed on user stories or epics that have already been defined. They should only be used as a means to further refine information that has already been collected, and not as the primary mechanism for gathering requirements.
Prototyping
A somewhat different technique that can be used to gather the specifications for a user story is prototyping. This involves creating a sample or model of what the feature will look like when it is complete. When this is produced and shown to the eventual users, what happens is that they are able to visualize the functionality in action in a much clearer way than simply talking about it. As a result, any flaws or misunderstandings are more easily pinpointed and ironed out, and there is a greater likelihood that the user story will be delivered smoothly and will meet expectations.
