11. Value for Who?

12. Why Bother with Agile?

13. Agile
YOU!! Product Owner

14. Scrum Process

15. What is an Agile User Story?
A user story represents a small piece of business value that a team can deliver in an iteration (Sprint).
While traditional requirements (like use cases) try to be as detailed as possible, a user story is defined incrementally, in three stages:
The brief description of the need
The conversations that happen during backlog grooming and iteration planning to solidify the details
The tests that confirm the story's satisfactory completion

16. User Stories INVEST Checklist
Well formed user stories meet the criteria

17. FYI: INVEST Checklist
INVEST checklist: for quickly evaluating user stories originates in an article by Bill Wake
repurposed the acronym SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-boxed) for tasks resulting from the technical decomposition of user stories.

18. Why Bother? Keep your team expressing value to the end user
Avoid introducing detail too early that would prevent design options and inappropriately lock developers into one solution
Avoid the appearance of false completeness and clarity
Get to small enough chunks that invite negotiation and movement in the backlog
Leave the technical functions (how to accomplish the user story) to developers, testers, and so on

19. How Do I Writer User Stories?
As a <user type>, I want to <function> so that <benefit> .
Examples:
As a consumer, I want shopping cart functionality to easily purchase items online.
As an executive, I want to generate a report to understand which departments need to improve their productivity.

20. User Stories BEWARE Avoid generic “user” Not all roles are end users
Specify roles of who interact with the system or realize value, “consumer”, “executive”, external systems “billing system”
Not all roles are end users
May be useful to create aggregate roles or specialized roles
Consumer = all types of roles who purchase in any time frame vs
Browser = searching for information purchase not likely in this session
Frequent Shopper = repeat consumer, expert user of features

21. User Stories, Size Matters!
KISS redux = KEEP IT SMALL STUPID
Small enough to be coded, test and checked for completeness to the user story within an iteration/sprint

22. Assignment #3
#1 Plan the design, develop and test of a “To Do List” app with a partner in Trello.
Create a new board Trello board, set up with Backlog, Doing, Done lists.
Add “User Stories” as cards to Trello in your backlog: start with these required MVP features:
As a student, I want see all the work items I need to get done today.
As a student, I want to add work items
As a student, I want to delete work items
What else in the backlog? Add at least 5 more to complete on later sprints.
Move just the required features to the the Doing list, leave the rest as backlog
At the end of completing Assignment 4, you will share your board with me (and make sure your partner is on there as well!)
As a <user type>, I want to <function> so that <benefit> .

23. Assignment #1 The To Do app

24. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 1
Open Xcode
Create a new project, call it something like MyToDo List App
Choose a “Tabbed Application” = tab bar on the bottom to switch between “scenes”

25. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 2
Run the app, so you can see what functionality Interface Builder/Cocoa Touch provides you.

26. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 3
Open the Main.storyboard, note how the views are laid out

27. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 4
We need to create a data structure to hold the task data
Create a Cocoa Touch Class File, call it Task Manager as a subclas of NSObject, language is Swift

28. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 5
The task data structure will be a simple struct. We’ll create a global variable to point to an instance of TaskManager

29. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 6
In Main.storyboard, select the FirstViewController , go to the File Inspector
Uncheck Use Auto Layout, press Disable Size Classes button

30. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 7
Delete the junk in the First View Controller and put in a Table View
Resize the Table view to leave space for the battery bar at the top and the tab bar at the bottom.

31. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 8
Resize the Table view to leave space for the battery bar at the top and the tab bar at the bottom.
Select the First tab button, change tab button name to Tasks
Change the second view tab button to Add New

32. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 9
Need to set up a data source and a delegate for our TableView
Right click the table view, Drag DataSource to FirstViewController (Tasks)
Right click the table view, Drag Delegate to FirstViewController (Tasks)

33. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 10
Need to finish setting up a data source and a delegate for our TableView by adding
Delegate – usually a subview has it’s parent as a delegate to handle certain methods, and that parent view is opting in to handle those methods, if the methods are required, the parent view must override them.
Open the code for FirstViewController and add UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource
Press CMD and click on UITableViewDataSource, you’ll see two methods that is not optional, we’ll need to implement it in FirstViewController .

34. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 10
Copy the 2 methods, paste them into FirstController and make them into functions.
For the first function, return the number of tasks
For the seconf function add the following:

35. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 12
Create the Add Task View from Second View Controller
Remove the junk, add a Label (Add Task), and two Text Fields and a button (Add Task). Change the place holder text to Task Name and Task Description

36. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 13
Need to set both text fields delegate as their parent, Second View Controller as the delegate by right clicking, dragging to the top parent view.

37. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 14
Need to finish setting up a delegate as SecondViewController
Open the code for SeondViewController and add UITextFieldDelegate,
Press CMD and click on UITextFieldDelegate, there are only optional methods but it gives us access to extra functions. Copy textFieldShouldReturn, make it a functions, add the follow code so the text field resigns the responder when a user presses return (and the keyboard goes away!!)
Run and test

38. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 15
Run and test, form the FirstViewController which is the task list, press the Add Task tab button. In the SecondViewController which is add task, type stuff into the text fields, hit return, the key board should go away.
Note if you click outside the text views on the SecondViewController, the keyboard stays there (it should go away), button doesn’t do anything

39. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 16
We need to get rid of the keyboards when we click in the SecondViewController.
Override function touchesBegan as below
, run and test. Keyboard goes away when you click outside the textfields.

40. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 17
We now need to add the text to the task list when we press the button.
That means we need to take text from the two text fields in code by making outlets for them. Call one txtTask, the other txtDesc, they will be of type UITextField

41. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 18
We now need an action for the button, control click drag, Call it buttonAddTask
Add the code as below which adds the task into the task list, get rid of the keyboard with endEditing, clear out the text fields from the Add Task, then jump back to the first first to show that the task has been added.

42. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 19
We will need to add an outlet for the tasks table view, call it tasksTable
We now need to update the view when returning to to FirstViewController by overriding viewWillAppear

43. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 20
Now run the app, add tasks, make sure the tasks list update

44. Assignment #4 Build Your ToDo List App, Step 20
Last feature, almost there! We need to delete an item of the task list when it is complete by swiping (click on right, drag to the left). Item should be removed from table, table updates itself.
In UITableViewDelegate … committ editing style (Delete), add to FirstViewController
Run, add a few tasks, try to delete

45. Update Trello
Test all the checklists on each of your user story cards.
Move the all the cards to the Done list
