of supporting sales transactions that involve collaborative planning

process, from observation of the problem space, through requirements
capture and prototyping, to in-situ evaluation of the resulting system,

Introduction to XP Stories Rachel Davies, Independent Agile Coach & Facilitator
This talk was about how to write stories for development in the Extreme
Programming method. Most books on XP are written from a developer
perspective, the role of the on-site customer is defined around interactions
with the development team. This session aimed to explain what a story
is, where the analysis activities that lead up to writing them fit
in the process and how stories differ from use cases. When using XP,
acceptance tests for stories should be written prior to planning out
development. The session also talked about how acceptance criteria
is defined and how to involve testers to support the customer. More
