Great book about user stories with loads of practical examples.

Super detailed in the book!

Great book for understanding how to apply user stories / PBI's... very text book with little wiggle room. Cohn and Beck do a nice job of giving the reader a solid foundation of stories and why, they are important.

For new folks... read the book first... apply to your teams... after about 4 or 5 sprints, revisit and hold a story writing workshop...Keep working at it... there is an art to great stories, introduce advanced topics on-top, such as gherkin, once you have a solid handle on writing stories and talking about them

This isn’t too bad. The first three sections are the most beneficial. My biggest complaint would be that a lot of the situations and scenarios are pretty contrived best-case/worst-case which is on par for this genre.

This book is from 2004 and I found it has aged a lot. Reading for the first time in 2019, I find it barely scratches the surface of User Stories.
Don't get me wrong, it is a good introduction to the topic. But I would combine it with User Story Mapping, as mapping the stories provides an excellent way of having that first story workshop that will generate stories.
Another aspect I didn't like was the fact the book is full of typos!!

All in all, a good introductory book to one requirements gathering tool. Just make sure it is not your only tool. I cannot recommend it though, I know Mike Cohn now has an online course on this. So maybe that is something to check.

Very well written. Needed to get good understanding of Agile requirement work fast. This book certainly does excellent job. I need to construct a business design phase to bridge the enterprise operating model with system implementation which will use agile. I was planning to leverage customer experience as a key driver of functional operating model design and (very happy) find that it will work really well with agile user stories - even better then with waterfall. I am still trying to figure agile out from large complex system design perspective. I think I am closer. Waiting for another agile book to show up.

Nice book about user stories from XP; it includes a chapter on how to adapt the User Stories to Scrum.

Great book for those who are new for User Stories. It explains clearly and with many examples the User Stories lifecycle: from the user roles identification, creating personas, brainstorming the stories, making decomposition to esrtimation and progress tracking.

This book presents "User Stories", and how they fit for requirements analysis in agile processes. I found the book easy to read and straight to the point. I like also that the last chapters summarize all ideas on a case study. I would regret that the book did not touch incremental design, which seems to be implied by any iterative process (it probably falls out of scope). Some say this book starts to show its age, but although the vocabulary or practicalities may have changed, I am convinced the core ideas remains relevant.

I’m not a big fan of self teaching books, but this one is an interesting read to anyone learning/using agile developement in their current job. Quite well defined terms, rules, roles, workflows etc.

Probably the definitive book on writing User Stories.

Great book about creating user stories as software project requirements. A concise book about how user stories make you life easier in complex projects. This book is for Product Owners on how to create and ordering user stories and for Scrum Masters who wanto to coach Product Owners in writing better requirements.
