TECHNICAL STORIES DON'T WORK

Video Description

How do you organise the technical parts of your work? Do you create Technical Stories or Technical User Stories alongside your User Stories? If so, we think that you are probably storing up some problems. In this episode, Dave Farley, author of Continuous Delivery and Modern Software Engineering, talks about what are technical stories, and the use of technical stories vs user stories and describes why he thinks that technical stories don’t work as a useful means of talking about, and planning our work. In software development how we plan, organise and prioritise our work has a big impact on its quality, this episode explores why that is the case, and how to do a better job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🚨 NEW Acceptance Testing COURSES: Take a look at my collection of 3 courses on ATDD.
