We work with the scrum method. Let's assume the product owner wants a new functionality that allows the user to search the content of the website.
The total work is 8 points and these would be the user stories:
- the user can input search terms (0 points)
- the search results are displayed to the user (8 points)
I want to gain more insight in the progress of the developer. However I cannot break down these stories any further.
I could however rewrite the stories. I feel reluctant because these stories are technical stories.
- add search text box (0 points)
- create index table in the database (0 points)
- make sure the index table is updated when data ABC changes (3 points)
- make sure the index table is updated when data XYZ changes (2 points)
- get results from the database (1 point)
- compose the correct url per search result (2 points)
How do you handle these situations?
