Abstract
In software projects, agile methodologies are based in small development cycles and in continuous communication with customers with low needs on modeling formalism for requirements elicitation and documentation. However, there are projects whose context requires formal modeling and documentation of requirements in order to raise and manage critical issues from the very beginning of the project, like architectural diagrams. This work presents an approach for deriving a list of User Stories using a logical architectural diagram as input. Derived User Stories are then delivered to multiple Scrum teams.
This work has been supported by FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia in the scope of the project: PEst-OE/EEI/UI0319/2014.
