4. User Stories and Tasks: Getting to the real work

Chapter 4. User Stories and Tasks: Getting to the real work

image with no caption

It’s time to go to work. User stories capture what you need to develop, but now it’s time to knuckle down and dish out the work that needs to be done so that you can bring those user stories to life. In this chapter you’ll learn how to break your user stories into tasks, and how task estimates help you track your project from inception to completion. You’ll learn how to update your board, moving tasks from in progress to complete, to finally completing an entire user story. Along the way, you’ll handle and prioritize the inevitable unexpected work your customer will add to your plate.
