Pls recommend a video or sample of the Best User Story detailing you have seen.

[srinivasacharytirunagari]

Hi, could you please explain detail on epic and user story

[mithuntodakar]

hi +Reval Govender I kind of agree on your point, you can not have story to boil down to one point, but in literal meanings identify a smallest story to which you can assign a smallest point, relatively you can decide on other bigger stories which will help you to measure the efforts on story when compared to our smallest story we identified. Does this sound better now?

[JudyMendes]

Could you publish a video on Epic and user story and also Complexity buckets (estimating stories).
Also how what is the main objective of the Backlog refinement v/s sprint planning meeting. It seems thru your video that in both meetings the the story is prioritized, epics are broken down into story & development team is estimating story...so help me understand to see how is one meeting different from another

[kombinezon]

What can we do if story is big and you can't find a way to split it into smaller pieces? :)

[taikuti]

Reval,
Thanks for the scrum series it's very educational. Can the a video on User Stories and techniques to brake down complex or Big Story point?

[mithuntodakar]

Very nice series :)
Can you please explain about effort estimation and "Complexity Buckets"
If possible can you share slides

[GillesBeaulacJoe]

Could you publish a video on Epic and user story and also Complexity buckets (estimating stories), please?

[mithuntodakar]

That's great explanation, and thanks for taking my question and giving great video. Recently I went through some resources and it explains same as you said in this video.
To add on bit, we try to identify smallest task that can be quantifiable to 1 and defending on that relatively we give numbers to other tasks, as research goes on and you can accurately predict numbers. Thanks and please let me know if I am not right.
