This post is really for myself to capture the links and information from a Twitter thread with me, Ron Jeffries, and Neil Killick. The original thread is here.
The Twitter thread started after I read this article by Ron Jeffries about developers abandoning agile. I asked about teaching developers how to break down stories. That question led to a reference to this article by Neil Killick. One take-away from the article is the quote "We learn what we will build through the story - we don't build the story itself." To me this is a succinct way to approach user stories to get at thin vertical slices.
My other take-away is the example in the article around the user story "Enable customers to pay their bills online." The example made the approach real to me.
The Twitter thread also referenced The Hamburger Method by Gojko Adzic and the Elephant Carpaccio Exercise by Alistair Cockburn.
