They would now like to have a software system which helps them effectively manage this process. The software system should support different types of users (e.g. Scrum Master, Product Owner and Developer). The software should allow a Product Owner to create and modify user stories, rank them and add or remove them to/from a product backlog. Scrum Masters can use the system to set up sprints and track the progress of an ongoing sprint. The system allows developers to define the tasks for completing a user story and estimate the effort (in terms of story points). All team members should be able to view user stories/tasks and interact with other team members by providing comments. Visual analysis of a project shall be provided to Scrum Master in the form of sprint burn-down chart and release burn-down chart. The system should also provide support for all users in searching for user stories and tasks through keywords and titles. a) Develop a list of user stories for this system. (3 marks) b) Assume that you have a team of 6 people. Describe how you would apply the incremental and iterative approach to develop this system in 2 months starting from today. Provide specific examples to illustrate your answer. (3 marks) Any assumptions which you have made should be stated clearly.
