Balancing "What" and "How" in User Stories

Transformation Of Agile User Stories Into Executable Code In A Built Application

Balancing "What" and "How" in User Stories

This is important in certain contexts, especially when the solution involves complex business logic that the development team is not familiar with.

Even in complex domains, the goal should be to clarify the business problem and requirements without dicting the technical solution. This might involve outlining the business rules or data needed without specifying the code or algorithms to use.

Use techniques like "Three Amigos" meetings (involving business analysts, developers, and testers) to explore and refine user stories together, ensuring everyone understands both the problem and potential solutions.

Provide the detailed "how" in the form of acceptance criteria, supporting documents, or during backlog refinement sessions, rather than in the initial user story.

OTHER WEBSITES

This site contains links to other sites whose information practices may differ from ours. If you should visit such third party sites, you should ensure that you review the appropriate privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

WHO WE ARE

This site is run by Tim Rogers to provide and seek information, comment and guidance on matters affecting charities. It is a free not-for-profit, non-commercial site.

WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR DATA

The site is run using Blogger, which is a standard application provided by Google. Tim Rogers does not capture any personal data from the site, unless of course you choose to leave you personal details in a comment. However Google does track data: it is for example how we know if this page has been read by 10 people or 10,000 people.

If you choose to comment, phone, email or send a letter we may note your name, email-address, organisation and information relevant to your correspondence.

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

On occasion that a correspondent may seek advice which is best given by a third-party (for example a specialist in IT Security) we will put them in touch with each-other. Similarly if someone asks a question that is better addressed by the Association of Jersey Charities or Jersey Community Partnership we will put you in touch with each other.

DATA SECURITY

We use Google’s up-to-date data storage and security techniques to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification or unlawful destruction or accidental loss. Unless you post a comment we know nothing about you, and if you use a Private Browser Google will know nothing about you.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

However as a consequence of using Google’s Blogger some personal data may be processed in (including being accessed in or stored in) a country or territory outside your home country, including outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

HOW LONG WE RETAIN PERSONAL DATA

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR]

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to apply for a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified.

In some circumstances you may also have the right to ask us to erase your personal data or restrict its processing. Where we process your data for our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to such processing. Where our processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent by emailing us
