Bringing User Stories to Life
summary
Uses character-driven comics to turn backlog cards and gherkin templates into compact, testable narratives that surface real user intent. Tools include a wiki for scenarios, Bitstrips for rapid character comics, and printed comic book flyers for workshops and hiring. Process-wise, the backlog gets culled, anecdotes distilled, and prototypes shown at meetups; outcomes are clearer requirements, faster feedback loops, better cross-team comprehension (accountants and councils grasp the product in seconds), and hiring and launches that actually attract attention.
