Nope, this session has nothing to do with user-stories. Rather, It’s about everyday, “did I tell you about …”, stories – the kind you find in jokes, cartoons, novels and conversation – and how to use them to implement Agile in a non-threatening, yet surprisingly sticky way. You’ll learn a little theory, you’ll have a laugh, and you’ll learn (at least) one story which will, one day, save your butt.
