Task Force 2.0 Third Week Sessions

Telling what someone really wants could be so difficult, especially when that person didn’t explain clearly.

Being software developer comes with learning how to figure out what the client really needs.
You not only have to develop the running application but also to develop the user requirements matching application.

To have the ability to read the client’s needs without being told everything, you have to know about user story development.
You heard me right, user story. It is just a story. But the one telling/showing you what the client needs.
Well, you have to create that story on your own.

During this week, I learned different new things but my main key takeaway of the week is user story development.

Here you have to put yourself in client’s shoes and see what he/she could need. Then build the story accordingly.
Start from the smallest steps to the biggest ones.

User stories help development team track the project progress and communicate with client efficiently.

Here is short user story of the Instagram feed post feature.

As a:
Main user
I want to:
Post feed post (Image, Video)
So that:
I can get likes, comments and get more traffic.

As:
A visitor
I want to:
See the posted feeds
So that:
I can like, comment, share, and repost it.

That’s a short story, isn’t it? You can develop an entire application’s user story based on the previous one.

You will not need to have a board with stickers to post those stories, there are good tools to use like Jira.

I hope you will enjoy developing your next application’s user story.

You can see more information on developing user stories on Jira here.

All I learn I thank them to Awesomity Lab and Code of Africa.

THEY ARE MY HEROES, MY MENTORS.
