The concept of user stories has its roots as one of the main tenets of Extreme Programming. In simple terms, user stories represent an effective means of gathering requirements from the customer (roughly akin to use cases). This book describes user stories and demonstrates how they can be used to properly plan, manage, and test software development projects. The book highlights both successful and unsuccessful implementations of the concept, and provides sets of questions and exercises that drive home its main points. After absorbing the lessons in this book, readers will be able to introduce user stories in their organizations as an effective means of determining precisely what is required of a software application.

Mike Cohn是敏捷联盟的发起成员之一，并担任其文章项目的总监。他1984年开始编程，1988年开始管理软件项目，客户包括富达投资、维亚康姆、宝洁、NBC和花旗银行。Mike写本书时是Fast401k的软件工程副总裁。这家行业领先公司提供基于互联网的401(k)档案保存和管理解决方案。Fast401k向金融服务行业客户提供自主品牌的e401k软件产品，作为外包服务供应商，利用专有技术实现规模经济效应。在本书之前，Mike著有或合写了4本编程方面的书籍
2001年，敏捷宣言诞生,现在敏捷方法已经在全世界范围内广泛应用。而早在1996年，极限编程就提出了“故事（story）”的概念，这是用户故事的起源。2004年，Mike Cohn《 User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development》一书正式发表。书中对用户故事理论系统化的阐述，...

- better as ideal day for estimating rather than taking into different impacts factors in to consideration
- estimating stories needs to be done by the team, and the estimates are owned by the tea, rather individuals
- triangulate an estimate by comparing it to other estimates
- whether or not a team programs in pairs has no impact on story point estimates. Paire programming affects the team's velocity, not their estimates
引自 Estimating user stories
Velocity means, on the specific approach of estimating of the efforts of your team, in one iteration, how many story points can be resolved
Story points for one feature is better to be consistent (using same way or indicator as estimation - could have triangulate methods (put different story points stories on the same board to see whether applicable or consistent from each other)
Story point for a same effort level estimation could change with time changes, due to the tech development, more familiar with the concepts or coding etc.
If story is not aggregated to the subsequent stories, the approach or standards of estimation could be changed to reflect the actual efforts.

Summaries:
1. To identify stories, start by considering the goals of each user role in using the system
2. When splitting a story, try to come up with stories that cut through all layers of the applications;
3. Try to write stories that are of a size where the user feels justified in taking a coffee break after completing the story

5. create constraint cards and either tape them to a shared wall or write tests to ensure the constraints are not violated

7. Keep the user interface out of the stories for as long as possible
8. When practical, include the user role when writing the story
9. Write stories in active voice.

Estimating stories.
The description of stories is a reminder for developers and business people to communicate. It is not the more details the better. The true meaning of a story can't be completely described by the text. Dev and customers usually have different opinions about one same sentence, and often customers don't know what they really need when they write this story. Dev needs to find out the real requirement during the discussion with customers.
Estimating as a team, find out why some people give larger story points.
Everything takes 4 hours.
