User Stories
Owing to Red Star Technologies’s expertise in project management and business analysis, a client came to us for the management of an initial stage digital product. While honoring us to have complete control of project management, he wanted us to formulate a user-centric project development framework.
As for objectives, we were tasked to turn product ideas into practical tasks while considering the user needs and development team. And guess what? All of this was supposed to happen within a Scrum framework.
Client Requirement
As a matter of fact, requirements were not complex yet needed a deeply focused and agile-oriented product development. So, this is what he actually asked us for:
- To write in-detail user stories from the end-user’s perspective in order to guide feature development.
- Applying agile methodologies to keep track of his management team.
- Keeping tasks organized inside the ClickUp project management tool to make sure that each story was turned into actionable items.
- Playing the role of middleman to ensure communication between product vision and developers and designers teams.
Challenges
After analysing the product thoroughly, our team identified the following key challenges that we had to tackle:
- The client’s idea was generic in nature. It needed refinement to demonstrate practicality and thorough planning.
- Stories and features were not clearly defined. Hence, our development team lacked clarity on features and scope.
- The project was lacking best agile practices and proper structure.
- Both design and dev teams needed alignment on the “why” behind each task.
Solution
This is what we did to cater all the aforesaid challenges:
- We held in-depth sessions with the client to have a better understanding of the product vision.
- Our team created user stories that were rooted in actual end-user scenarios and outcomes.
- We put the ClickUp tool into action to create tasks, categorize stories into sprints and assign them to the team.
- We organized sessions and meetings to ensure team alignment and maintained frequent communication with our client to make changes if needed.
