Which characteristic describes a good user story according to the f.N.V.E.S.T. mnemonic?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

According to the INVEST mnemonic, a good user story should be Valuable. This means that the user story must deliver value to the customer or stakeholder. Each user story should have a clear purpose, ensuring that the effort invested in its development contributes to the overall product value. Other criteria of the INVEST mnemonic include Independent, Negotiable, Estimable, Small, and Testable, but 'Valuable' is key to justifying the user story's inclusion in the product backlog.


PMI Disciplined Agile (DA) Toolkit, which outlines the INVEST criteria for user stories and emphasizes the need for stories to deliver value.

PMI Agile Practice Guide, which describes the characteristics of well-formed user stories using the INVEST mnemonic.

Haha, the answer is definitely D) Valuable. If a user story isn't valuable, why would we even bother with it?

This is a tricky one. My gut says A) Incremental, since user stories should be broken down into smaller, manageable pieces.
