User Stories....Unleashed

According to the 2012 CHAOS report, Agile succeeds three times more often than waterfall. So it is no surprise to learn that 49% of businesses say most of their company is using Agile development. Agile relies on simple user stories rather than complex, overly detailed requirements documents. No wonder we have come to love user stories. They are so easy to write; now we donâ€™t even have to rely on the IT team to produce requirements. Whoever developed this simple framework for letting project teams write requirements as user stories is clearly a genius.

Who needs the WBS and the lengthy, detailed, multiple headings requirements document when you can have a backlog full of user stories to work on? This is quite a concept, which follows the ingenious logic of the Agile Manifesto.
