Currently , there are various techniques and methods for agile requirements gathering and requirements management.
They include applications or use cases, user stories or user stories , Innovation Games , Color Modeling, user story mapping and one of the latest techniques Impact mapping. All of these techniques address different problems have different goals and are therefore logically also used differently .
Use cases are one of the classical techniques for the collection and management of requirements nowadays. These can be both a classic , waterfall -oriented than be used in an agile environment - Alistair Cockburn , one of the signatories of the Agile Manifesto , is also world famous world renowned expert on use cases .
User stories answer the question: “How can we share the requirements so that we prioritize them independently , plan and can provide ? ” User stories are often described as consisting of map , Conversation and Confirmation (abbreviated in English as 3C. Serve as a placeholder for both planning and discussions ( conversations ) that are performed as part of the clarification and implementation of the content of the map. Difference between use cases and user stories described by Alistair Cockburn aptly : “A user story is the title of a scenario and a use case is the contents of multiple scenarios .”
Innovation Games were creating for the creation and development of ideas for new product development. They are based on the finding that it is easier for a man to express himself during a game than in the more serious compared atmosphere of a business meeting . The best time for an innovation game here is the beginning of the new products development.
Color Modeling is a lightweight technology from the Feature Driven Development ( FDD for short ) . The goal is the rapid creation of a domain model focuses on significant events , people and organizations (parties) who participate in these events , as well as the associated roles. This technique is used interestingly, for projects of various sizes , from 20 person-days up to 1,000 person-months .
User Story Maps are the result of the difficulty in finding a meaningful organization in many cases, large amount of user stories. User Story Maps answer the question:
" What is the minimum applicable scope, we need to realize in order to provide a value for the customer" A user story map arranges user stories into a model that is very helpful to the functionality of the to understand the system, to identify gaps in a backlog and perform efficient release planning , so that users get with every release added value. User Story Mapping enables a plan for a complete product to create , which can be divided into meaningful ReleasesImpact mapping was developed by Gojko Adzic and has its roots in the field of User Experience ( UX shortly ) .
Impact mapping is based on the developed there “Effect mapping ” method. The idea of the impact mappings is to describe the requirements on a visual way . This path connects goals , actors and effects that are to be achieved. This is Impact mapping is a good tool to achieve the connections between business objectives and new functionality to be developed . Therefore, Impact Mapping is very well suited for the planning of releases.
Do they have experience with agile methods for requirements elicitation and management ? Do you want to replace the experience or to learn more about Impact Mapping? Then we look forward to their participation in the Agile Stammtisch Frankfurt. The theme of the lightning talks of the next Stammtisch will be ” Impact Mapping”.
