How to Use Story Cubes to Write Innovative and Astounding User Stories
Creating a unique and innovative feature in your product starts by looking outside the box by viewing your users as a cast in a movie. While the hero is the story's center, the villains play a significant role in making the movie top the box office. Story cubes are a perfect tool for innovating your product's features using metaphors. For example, if your key user is the lion "hero," did you know that a group of Hyenas "villains" can kill a lion? In this workshop, participants will use story cubes to build innovative user stories. Stories that look at your product from a 360-degree view. Participants will get a simple and public-domain product. Then, they will work together as a scrum team to define user stories that introduce innovative and selling features to the product. Come to this highly interactive and fun workshop with a wide open mindset. Be ready to dress like an astronaut who will drive a submarine! What features could we build in a submarine when the captain is an astronaut who travelled before to Mars and the moon?
