The product development team took a page from tech industry players and adapted Agile methodologies with the goal of developing hardware at the speed of software while recognizing and preserving Ford’s legacy and expertise in vehicle product development.
User stories are one of the core components of an agile program.
User stories are a few sentences in simple language that outline the desired outcome. They don’t go into detail. Requirements are added later, once agreed upon by the team.
For example, user stories might look like:
As Max, I want to invite my friends, so we can enjoy this service together.
As Sascha, I want to organize my work, so I can feel more in control.
As a manager, I want to be able to understand my colleagues progress, so I can better report our sucess and failures.
As Dominic, I have a hard time finding enough advertisements to view. Many of the advertisements I do view are not sufficiently-targeted at me.
As Richard, my submissive fantasies have gone unfulfilled. My truck is large and powerful, but does not seize control of my life in the sort of confident and assertive fashion that I would find satisfying.
As Denise, a Blade Runner fan, I am unhappy that I cannot visit a technology-driven dystopia.
