Nothing speaks against creating user stories in the team, including the PO. but at the end, it's the user stories that you have to fulfill. Like: I as a user want to be able to export our bla into a csv file so that I can import it into Excel. How you achieve that is your problem. By specifying WHAT instead of HOW, you can implement the minimum viable approach, and deliver some actual value fast and sufficient. | |
| Mar 6, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | doogiehowserone | Ah ok - I think the crux of the issue is that no user stories have yet been generated and I am the one who is refining the requirements and almost implicitly writing the user stories from the mockups I am tasked to create, rather than the other way around with the PO creating the stories first. I suppose I can phrase it another way: is it acceptable for me to push back on creating mockups without explicit user stories (crafted by the PO) in place? (edit: thanks for the input) | |
| Mar 6, 2019 at 12:19 | comment | added | HankTheTank | I think the user stories should be enough. I can't emphasis enough that whatever you produce, should fulfill a business value. (I've used that phrase a lot). How you do that, is up to you. You have to find that solution. By defining that business value, you can work story by story and create sort of a business value stream. If your solution is sufficient, the PO will tell you. | |
| Mar 6, 2019 at 11:15 | comment | added | doogiehowserone | Just to clarify that in my situation, the PO isn't saying they should create the prototype. It is more me asking as a UX/UI developer what I should be expected to consume to create my own mockups - is this a requirements document, user stories, or both - and in what state should these deliverables be in before being handed down from the BA/PO? My thinking that a PO delivering a prototype would ensure the requirements are in a decent state for the design & development teams to further refine. | |
