Prioritize with the customer<br />

It’s your customer’s call as to what user stories take priority. To help the<br />

customer make that decision, shuffle and lay out all your user story cards on<br />

the table. Ask your customer to order the user stories by priority (the story<br />

most important to them first) and then to select the set <strong>of</strong> features that need<br />

to be delivered in Milestone 1.0 <strong>of</strong> their s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />

What is “Milestone 1.0”?<br />

Milestone 1.0 is your first major release <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware to the customer. Unlike<br />

smaller iterations where you’ll show the customer your s<strong>of</strong>tware for feedback, this<br />

will be the first time you actually deliver your s<strong>of</strong>tware (and expect to get paid for<br />

the delivery). Some Do’s and Don’ts when planning Milestone 1.0:<br />

balance functionality with customer impatience<br />

Help the customer to understand what can be done in the time<br />

available. Any user stories that don’t make it into Milestone 1.0 are not<br />

ignored, just postponed until Milestone 2, or 3...<br />

get caught planning nice-to-haves<br />

Milestone 1.0 is about delivering what’s needed, and that means a set<br />

<strong>of</strong> functionality that meets the most important needs <strong>of</strong> the customer.<br />

worry about length (yet)<br />

At this point you’re just asking your customer which are the most important<br />

user stories. Don’t get caught up on how long those user stories will<br />

take to develop. You’re just trying to understand the customer’s priorities.<br />
