User Stories

Correct Answer: A clear description of the value the user wants to achieve.

The user story lacks a clear description of the value the user wants to achieve by searching and filtering products. Adding the desired value makes the user story more comprehensive and provides better guidance for the development team.

Correct Answer: It ensures stories are well-structured and ready for implementation

The primary benefit of using the 'INVEST' criteria for creating user stories is that it ensures stories are well-structured and ready for implementation. INVEST is an acronym that stands for:

Independent: The story should be self-contained and not dependent on other stories.
Negotiable: Details can be discussed and refined with the customer.
Valuable: The story must deliver value to the customer or user.
Estimable: The team should be able to estimate the effort required.
Small: Stories should be small enough to be completed within a sprint.
Testable: Clear acceptance criteria should be defined.

By following these criteria, teams can create high-quality user stories that are easier to understand, prioritize, and implement. This leads to more effective planning and execution of project work.

The other options are incorrect:

Guaranteeing completion within a single sprint is not the primary purpose of INVEST. While 'Small' is part of the criteria, it doesn't guarantee completion.

Automatic prioritization based on business value is not a feature of INVEST. While 'Valuable' is part of the criteria, prioritization is a separate process.

Providing a framework for estimating exact development time is not accurate. While 'Estimable' is part of INVEST, it focuses on the ability to estimate, not on precise time calculations.

Correct Answer: Bring in a technical expert to discuss the feasibility of implementing the bulk upload feature.

The best approach in this situation would be to bring in a technical expert to discuss the feasibility of implementing the bulk upload feature. This is because the main concern of the development team is the technical feasibility of the user story. Deleting the user story from the product backlog is not a good idea because it would mean disregarding the feature request outrightly without exploring viable solutions. Forcing the team to implement the story without technical expertise would likely lead to a poorly implemented feature and could potentially demoralize the team. Postponing the user story indefinitely until technical knowledge improves is not a proactive or practical approach as it potentially delays a business-critical feature without a clear timeline on when and how the technical knowledge will improve. Therefore, the best approach is to engage technical expertise to evaluate and guide the implementation of the feature.
