Stop Feeling Overwhelmed: Split User Stories in 2 Steps

[@derekrempfer5814]

Probably the best video I've seen on the topic of splitting user stories. Well done.

[@TristanBailey]

Had not heard of the acronym WAHZUR. Thank you for introducing it as a way to break up or write stories

[@hemabrijesh6710]

Each video I see ,I get to understand different dimensions of agile. Cannot thank you enough.. Accepted you as my agile coach..

[@niyioyediran3499]

Splendid! I had to split my long appreciative sentence . Good delivery, short and precise.

[@prashantsingh7947]

I watched a lot of your videos and i am impressed of the knowledge you deliver in videos, but i wanted to give one suggestion it is my personal experience, it may be different for others- your voice pace is 20-30% fast to grasp. Thanks Vibhor for this informative series.

[@KishitaVariya]

There is so much value in this video! most videos out there are only theoritical knowledge, but this video actually brings clarity on how should I actually approach user story writing.

[@Ask_LyRc]

im a student and while doing a project for Software Engineering i came across this video and it helps alot :D

[@CindyAlexius]

Great stuff Vibhor! As a Scrum Master, I want to coach the team on breaking down user stories, so that they're committing to achievable stories within each sprint. No time like the present for practice :)

[@shubhrasharma4189]

your explaination made the whole user story funda like a cake walk...casual but impactful explaination. Thanks Vibhor !

[@veronicagola9901]

Great session. I will definitely try vertical slicing, knowing that my teams are committed frontend and backend developers and are so used to horizontal approach.

[@tonyplank]

Vertical slice is hard, but worth the effort.

[@damarisfozaopowell3137]

You are good Vibhor. So glad I found your channel. I just started my new scrum master role. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us. By the way you are very handsome and organized. God bless you 🙏

[@womanlikeme33]

I just came across your videos and I am glued. Thank you for the content

[@ankursharma7812]

Awesome, precise and crisp

[@igorsk19]

Great video! thank you for the presentation and examples. it would be great if you can show us a proper backlog, how is defined with epics, user stories and tasks....

[@rgsudusky]

All I can say is this video convinced me to Subscribe.

[@krishnachaitanya7712]

Hi Vibhor , Thats a wonderful video and best part is the Practical Examples and not the Concept . Thank you and Well done

[@Rick1972mx]

Great video, one of the best visual video ever seen. Thanks for the great job

[@rajkumarmfsr]

One of the best explanation for refinement in agile space. Thanks vibhor

[@ramachandusharma5867]

Really a valuable and informative and interesting video. Thanks for sharing such good content.

[@CodegraphersBD]

this is informative, although you have a slightly different approach than others, it does make sense what you are talking about. Thumbs up.

[@ahealthyyouwithdoctornew9749]

I would like to hear more about why you've found that only 35% of User Stories fit the INVEST criteria; and how a Scrum Master can be sure they are appropriately and consistently applying the INVEST criteria.

[@keerthipt736]

Wow, great video Vibhor. Was a very informative presentation with a great tone. Glad I stumbled on this video. Beautifully summarized. Thank you!

[@VibhorChandel]

Appreciate that Keerthi, thank you

[@vishwanathauti644]

Great work sir

[@lizflint3580]

great content! Graphics are on point and the body of the videos is super relevant! thank you for the hard work!!!!!

[@VibhorChandel]

Appreciate you Liz, thanks alot

[@tamlandipper29]

I'm really interested in expanding on your point by explicitly linking stories to a scenario then evaluating the probability and impact of the scenario.

[@VibhorChandel]

Coming up

[@IshaLuthra-yt6ug]

I love to watch and learn from your videos. This one is amazing

[@CJModestoful]

I just finished my scrum master certification, and am using an agile approach outside of software. This video really helped me figure a way to adapt the approach to my project.

[@elizabethkengne2928]

Excellent content..... very informative

[@raymondlynch660]

Really excellent summary of the activity...

[@vikrama2189]

Excellent explanations and well made videos Vibhor .

[@2Black4yall]

"JUST BE AGILE" 🙌🙏👌

[@marna_li]

I have recently been in a team who did just that: Split by layer. Using tasks. Since we had dedicated frontend and backend developers it was hard to coordinate - and we struggled to close our User Stories. In some ways they were not real User Stories either, but renditions of the Requirements.

[@teonaloving7654]

I am in the same situation

[@jojee.k]

I wish I was In the same situation 😊

[@guybrushthreepwood2910]

I have the same problem on my team, but we still split by vertical slices. Frontend (FE) devs work on the FE tasks, backend (BE) devs on the backend and then we integrate. It's not ideal but, nevertheless, we deliver a full vertical slice, not a layer.

[@marna_li]

@@guybrushthreepwood2910 It depends on what the team is used to and if they are comfortable taking command and organize it the way it works best or them as a team. There is a problem when the team members are used to do tickets rather than features. And some environments sadly treat features as tickets to be completed once they have been planned. There is no replanning ever.

[@guybrushthreepwood2910]

​@@marna_li Yes, the most difficult thing to change is the culture and what people have been used to doing for a long time. You said "some environments sadly treat features as tickets to be completed once they have been planned". I'm not sure I understood this or what you are pointing with it. Are you talking about how they behave more like "bots" to get the job done and they don't take the time to analyze and perhaps split the stories into multiple other ones?

[@pricesmith1793]

Looking forward to the tutorial series on “effective user stories”

[@piotrlanger7744]

You are doing a great job, Vibroh, thank you!

[@Deepzdone]

[@agilemindset247]

Hi Vibhor, You have not been posting videos for over a long period.Hope all is well with you. I miss coming here to study through your ever detailed , informative, clear, and quality videos .

[@saranshmehra8577]

Great Content!! Thank you for sharing. I just wanna say, that the "T Split" part was really confusing, It didn't make any logical sense to me. I think many others have also commented on it. if you have some time then it would be great if you can clarify this method here or make a detailed video around it.

[@Sina-sd6qp]

Good man with confidence. Thank you for the video! :)

[@Majik_E]

I don't agree with the part where it is suggested to avoid breaking the story horizontally. Although this sounds great in theory, often times teams are comprised of specialists in specific tech stacks which has taken them years to gain that expertise. Its naive to think that simply pair programming will allow someone to become a good, let alone an expert in a particular stack. The organization as a whole might not care to push their development team to function like this. By only splitting stories vertically, you are forcing a major shift in the makeup of team and how it operates, just to satisfy the SDLC process.

[@MrLwliang]

Thank you! This is super clear

[@TheMyriade]

Thank you so much for such deep knowledge sharing. a big thx

[@blessed3830]

All your videos are great! I have been binge watching your videos! Thank you for creating great content thats easy to understand!!

[@stressboy4326]

Would you be able to create a video on creating User Stories / EPICs on Dashboarding projects (like Qlik Sense, Tableau and Power BI) where it involved everything from Data Source to ETL and then to the Dashboards & Maintenance. I agree with you on the point whereby we shouldn't split the stories horizontally but there has been very little examples online and even on KZbin on how you can do that vertically in the field of Dashboard Development. Most are usually related to Software Development. And for Dashboard Development, it is usually the ETL which takes up the bulk of the time (and Data Validation after modelling them to check if the process is valid/right).

[@stevenicolas2431]

Its very helpfull thankyou

[@thx5001]

This is a really useful video and I like the analogy of the slice of cake.

I enjoyed this. Very succinct with a lot of information conveyed. I agreed with 80% of this which is a record: I don't even agree with myself that mych.

[@muhammaddevanozaidan6837]

very good explanations , thank you

[@martin82844]

I am still interested in the cake scenario. If you are building a new system, setting up everything is not possible in 1 sprint to create a slice of cake. And we can do pair programming, still it won't be delivered in 1 sprint. So what we do then?

[@mytruereviewsandgenuineinf1131]

Great Video Vibhor .. thank you !!

[@GauravSharma-oe3gt]

Awesome content, its very helpful. Thank you Vibhor.

[@firozkhaleel8461]

Valuable information

[@anbuarasi8110]

You have nailed it 👍

[@volvorin6891]

I would like to hear more on vertical split of US, how a US1 & US2 are so independent to be delivery separately? In practice you wouldn't more than 20% developers which are full stack.

[@chiarabozzacchi2299]

Nice video! but I have a question: when talking about acceptance criteria you create 3 user stories which do not seem very independent to me. what's the deal with the independency criterium for user stories then?

[@benjwal]

liked it thank you. any inputs on how to roll up weights to stories with tasks.

[@OluwatosinOladipo-pj4ue]

Very insightful. Can I please get more help on splitting user stories and acceptance criteria.

[@stefanoercole6569]

Hi, Vibhor thank you for your video very interesting. In the teams, I am following I often have the "Horizontally issue" (that you well explained). This is because as you said,, there are silos (Analysts, Developers, Testers) and often they aren't able to do all three tasks in one sprint. In this case, what is your suggestion? Let them divide the US horizontally or maintain a single story for more than one sprint or another.

[@Loc_87cdp]

very clear!! thanks

[@UmairKhan-hc2ql]

Great stuff as always 👍

[@elnini0]

Wonderful content.

[@karimk9448]

Very well done man. Great job. You should charge for these kinda vids.

[@guybrushthreepwood2910]

In the T-Split example, we have these 2 cases: S1) breadth: "As a traveller, I can pay using my credit card" S2) depth: "As a traveller, to pay I need to enter my card details" How can S1 be implemented without S2? In other words, what would we be testing in S1?

Hi Mohit, I have a technique that I will be sharing in my newsletter soon.

[@matisseterdam]

Hi Vibhor, great video btw, have a question wrt WAHZUR, do you need to apply *all* of these for each user story, or simply select most appropritate one and apply it. Thanks!

[@VibhorChandel]

You just apply what you need. Wahzur is a checklist so you pass through all possible ways of splitting.

[@TheImmaculateJ]

Hi. Great video. Friendly heads up, you skipped the V in INVEST while stating what each letter means.

[@rajeshphilip1471]

I have a question regarding enablers. Context here is team will say they need to come up with design and those are enablers. Only once the design is there they can develop. Can you share some detailed insight of what really is an enabler and what is not.

[@ghkhellfire007]

fantastic

[@asrulh]

Is that printed text editor at 10:17 🤣? Good videos by the way, thank you.

Do we prioritize epic or user story ?? And how we prioritize user story for story map??
