This talk will give you a short introduction to a combination technique to prioritize user stories that I named kano-weighting. I have been using it for a couple of years and want to share my experiences.

It combines two often used techniques for story prioritazation: kano analysis and story weighting in a single light-weighted approach.

Writing good user stories and planning effective product releases is difficult. Simple story templates and prioritization heuristics offer short term relief, but teams still struggling under mountains of stories of questionable quality.

In this short workshop you’ll gain a deeper understanding of why the simple idea of stories can be so difficult. Armed with deeper understanding you’ll learn not to write stories, but to discuss your product and plan its release while creating an organized story backlog as a natural outcome of conversation.
