Sure. The scrum team has a significant role in influencing user stories. For example, during the sprint planning, they can analyze the feasibility of the user stories in terms of time, resources, and technology. If they find some parts are not clear or might be difficult to implement, they can communicate with the product owner and influence the refinement of the user stories. Also, their knowledge of the system and past experiences can lead to better user stories that are more in line with the overall product vision.
Yes, they can. A scrum team can provide input and feedback to shape and refine user stories based on their understanding of the project requirements and user needs.
Yes. During the sprint, if the scrum team discovers new information or encounters unexpected issues related to a user story, they can influence it. For instance, they might suggest a change in the acceptance criteria if they find that the original criteria are not feasible in the current context.
Yes, a Scrum team can change user stories. However, it should be done within the framework of Scrum. For example, during Sprint Planning, if new information comes to light or there is a better understanding of the requirements, the team may adjust the user stories. But any significant changes need to be carefully considered as they can impact the Sprint goals and the overall product backlog.
Yes, they can, but with caution. Changing user stories during a Sprint can disrupt the flow and planned work. Minor changes that don't significantly impact the Sprint goal can be accommodated. For example, if there is a small clarification needed in the user story. However, major changes might need to be deferred until the next Sprint planning session to avoid derailing the current Sprint.
Sure. A Scrum Master has the skills and knowledge to write user stories. They are well - versed in the product and the goals of the project. While the main responsibility for user stories lies with the Product Owner, the Scrum Master can be involved. They can help in ensuring that the user stories follow the right format, are clear, and are testable. For example, if the Product Owner is new or overloaded, the Scrum Master can step in and write some of the user stories to keep the development process flowing smoothly.
