Attributes of a Good Story (Continued)

• Estimatable

INVEST

– Plans are based on user stories; need to be able to estimate them

• Small

– Complete in one iteration – Bigger if further off on the horizon

• Testable – Easy, binary way of knowing when a story is finished – Done or not done; no “partially finished” or “done except”
