Glossary
StoryA requirement, feature, and/or unit of business value that can be estimated and tested. Stories describe work that must be done to create and deliver a feature for a product. Stories are the basic unit of communication, planning, and negotiation between the Scrum Team, Business Owners, and the Product Owner.
Stories consist of the following elements:
• A description, usually in business terms
• A size, for rough estimation purposes, generally expressed in story points (such as 1,2,3,5,8)
• An acceptance test, giving a short description of how the story will be validated
Facets of a story include:
• Business value, direct or indirect. If this cannot be estimated, then a study story is required
• Instigator of the story, a customer or developer
