A business analyst at Universal Containers is converting a requirements document into
user stories for upcoming Manufacturing Cloud deployment. The first requirement is
"finance needs a time tracking sys containers."
Which option best represents the "IF component of the INVEST checklist to make a good
user story from this requirement?
A. As a finance user I want a Timesheet object implemented so I can accurately report on
container profitability
B. As a finance user, I want to know how long it takes to assemble a container so I can
accurately report on container profitability
C. As a finance user, I want an Assembly Time field on the container cost record so I can
accurately report on container profitability
B. As a finance user, I want to know how long it takes to assemble a container so I can
accurately report on container profitability
Explanation:
The option that best represents the “I” component of the INVEST checklist to
make a good user story from this requirement is B. As a finance user I want to know how
long it takes to assemble a container so I can accurately report on container profitability.
The “I” component stands for Independent, which means that the user story should be self contained
and not depend on or overlap with other user stories. Option B is independent
because it focuses on a specific need and goal of the finance user, and does not rely on or
affect other user stories. The other options are either dependent or irrelevant. Option A is
dependent because it specifies a particular solution (Timesheet object) that may depend on
or overlap with other user stories. Option C is irrelevant because it does not address the
requirement of knowing how long it takes to assemble a container.
