  11. Today’s activity The survey tells us the areas to prioritise but not what to write/edit We will: • Create user stories for priority tasks • 10 mins • Prioritise user stories for sections • 10 mins

  12. What’s a user story? • User stories provide a user-focused way to describe how a product can meet a need. • Defines the purpose of a product • In this case, helps us write only what is required on the web page to meet the need.

  13. User stories Follow a specific format: • As a: … • I want to… • So I can…

  14. For example

  15. Activity 1: 10 mins Working in small groups, create user stories for your group’s topic from the task survey long neck. • Be specific about who you are as it may affect the answer you need. Eg - ‘As a…’: • Personal Tutor • PG International student • Final year UG placement

  16. Activity 2: 10 minutes • Use your sticky dots to choose your priority user stories. • You can put one or more dots against each of your choices. • Those stories with the most dots will be prioritised.
