SCRUM Planning - User Stories

Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development.

In Scrum, work is expressed as user stories. A team may write its user stories in a number of ways as long as they are written from the perspective of the end user. Put another way, team members are encouraged to think of their work from the perspective of who will use it (hence “user” story).

In summary, user stories document requirements with particular attention to the end user’s point of view.

Usage advice: 

This template is a little more structured than the traditional way of stating user stories ("As a [end user role], I want [the desire] so that [the rationale]").

Using this template, the team will have to think about a title, a mission to accomplish, the success conditions, and the expected (tangible) deliverables.

The template can also be used to break down the story in smaller steps during the sprint planning.

Swirly Q GTD Template Set (Commercial, Non-free)

Finally!

One of my goals in 2009 was to finish my Swirly Q GTD Template set - and I am happy to say that it is now FINISHED!

This series is smooth and gentle in shades of lavender and green. Exquisitely unique, your will be in awe of this coordinated series!

The entire set consists of:

* Notes
* Graph Paper
* Mind Map
* Agenda
* Expense Report
* Phone Log
* Project Planner
* Personal Profile
* To Do List
* Weekly Template
* Monthly Template

They are also available in three-paks, separated as follows:

Set One:
* Notes
* Graph Paper
* Mind Map

Set Two:
* Agenda
* Expense Report
* Project Planner

Set Three:
* Phone Log
* Profile Page
* Things to Do

Set Four:
* Weekly Calendar
* Monthly Calendar
* Yearly Calendar

It has taken hours of work to bring these templates to fruition - the graphs are high quality vectors and the templates are presented in PDF format, which lends itself well to print at most any size. There are wide margins to support punching to fit both Circa and traditional 3, 5 or 7 hole binders.

The three-paks are priced at a reasonable $5.99, and the entire template set it $24.99. Many satisfied customers have purchased my templates and have been extremely happy with them.

I can also customize and portion of these for you, whether you need your week to start on a different day, or anything else that you require. I'm also happy to create a brand new custom set just for you. Feel free to contact me at blog@freshfocus.info.

These templates as well as my Java Template Pak are available from my blog, and you will find them at this link: http://freshfocus.info/blog/my-gtd-templates.

Thanks for viewing this template and I hope that you will enjoy them!
