the best way to build software that users' needs is to begin with “user stories” -simple, clear descriptions of functionality that will be valuable to real suers. in user stories applied, mike cohn provides a front-to-back blueprint writing user stories and weaving them into your development lifecycle.
with this book you'll learn
how use stories work, and how they differ from use cases, scenarios, and traditional requirements
practical ways to gather user stories – even when you can't talk to users
how to leverage user stories as part of planning, scheduling, estimating, and testing
