Specific examples of Agile documentation? [closed]

Question

In an answer to the question Documents for a project?, Chris Ballance replied that "User Stories" and a "burndown chart" are the two most useful types of project documentation for a developer.

My question is, do you know of any good example[s], which I can see (for example on the internet, or in a book), of these kinds of documentation?

If possible I'd be happy to see many examples, including:

• Small/short/simple examples
• Big/long/complicated examples
• Famous examples
• High-quality examples

I don't find this an easy topic to Google for: I find lots written about it, but fewer demonstrations showing it.

Answer 1

A very good place to start as far as books are concerned is User Stories Applied and Agile Estimation and Planning both by Mike Cohn. This have excellent examples and good starting points for anyone first coming to agile methodologies.

As far as website resources they are few and far between. Probably a good place to actually start would be searching for those keywords on Google Images as many people take photos of their burndown charts and User Stories. This helped me a lot when starting. Here are some samples: Burndown Chart, and User Stories

Please note however while a burndown chart is a simple report that you run on your current story points left in an iteration, User stories are more complex than that and do require a bit of reading to wrap your head around. Start with User Stories Applied book for that.

Hope that helps!
