Apologies that I won't every be able to make these discussions, my 8-5 job will prevent me from doing so.
I think you're on the right track, the user story should be very focused on that specific story. Unless the user story is for someone forking the snowdrift website, then libs and databases are probably not appropriate in the story. When I begin yo craft marketing and/or help information based on the user story, I won't care that the database is postgres or how the tables are laid out. In fact, those details would actually slow me down in doing my work. Taking a more agile approach and working on what is directly in front of you seems like it'd be a good idea here, but I may be wrong. I also agree with focus on the MVP. -m On February 26, 2016 1:29:29 PM PST, Bryan Richter <br...@snowdrift.coop> wrote: >Yesterday while fleshing out user stories, the question came up of >whether or not user stories can capture everything, or whether some >information should be deferred to specs. > >In my opinion, separate specifications are needed because user stories >only capture features.
