Another accronym

I was often told by one my first PM/BAs that all requirements should be CAMTU:

Clear, Accurate, Measurable, Trackable, and Unique

We have been struggling with the granularity of our Product Backlog items for months. Our first effort was too small and our current one is too high level. Your examples and the ones from Mountain Goat are more of what I am looking for.

Thanks for the post.

Michael:

I'm an Agile coach and I read your blog frequently, so thank you very much. I'd like to invite you to make a "lens" that will help direct people to your blog. I'd like more people to read your stuff and to have another place to come where they can get a quick list of the really good ones.

Here's where you can make your "lens." It's quick and easy - mine took a few minutes to make.

"... Bill Wake, the inventor of Wiki"

I wish I could claim credit for the Wiki, but that was Ward Cunningham. I did invent the INVEST acronym, however:)

People who share my background in traditional requirements analysis often have a hard time coming up with Product Backlog Items representing thin vertical slices of potentially-shippable product. Here is some material I've started using in teaching this.
