information during the development process. User Story – Description of functionality a user wants, small enough to complete in a single sprint Epic – A large user story often defined for a release that spans of user stories or epics that may span multiple releases Teams often capture requirements in user stories and epics to provide a clear operational perspective of the capability’s purpose. User stories completed. Epics are aggregations of user stories, often used to capture strategic intent. Epics may span multiple sprints and form a release, while user stories should be implemented within a single

maintain a big picture, long-term view and focus on the next six-month release.  DO epics and user stories to concisely define the desired system functions and provide the foundation for Agile estimation estimation and planning. o They describe what the users want to accomplish with the resulting system. User stories help ensure that users, acquirers, developers, testers, and other stakeholders have a clear established to help estimate the level of work for each requirement (i.e., as translated into user stories)

of buying off the shelf.  The risk of developing a system incrementally and altering it based on user feedback is often lower than that of buying a finished product that is hard to change.  The advantages product that does not fit our business and customize it until it does.  We offer our business users a user interface that is clunky because it was designed for users in the abstract across many possible companies get feedback, and then adjust what they have produced. As a result, the code can be developed in a user-centric way and match the enterprise’s needs precisely. Risk is low, because the team is constantly
