Adapting Bloom's Taxonomy for an Agile Classification of the Complexity of the User Stories in SCRUM

User Stories and Natural Language Processing: A Systematic Literature Review

“…[33] Identify ambiguous user stories [34] Define and measure quality factors from user stories [4], [35] Obtain a security defect reporting form from user stories [36] Indicate duplication between user stories [37] Generate model/artifact Generate a test case from user stories [38]- [43] Generate a class diagram from user stories [44], [45] Generate a sequence diagram from user stories [46] Generate a use case diagram from user stories [47]- [49] Generate a use case scenario from user stories [50] Generate a multi-agent system from user stories [51] Generate a source code from user stories [40] Generate a BPMN diagram from user stories [40] Identify the key abstractions To understand the semantic connection in user stories [52]- [54] Identify topics and summarizing user stories [55], [56] Construct a goal model from a set of user stories. [57] Define ontology for user stories [58] Extract the conceptual model of user stories [59], [60] To find the linguistic structure of user stories [61] Prioritizing and estimation of user story complexity [62], [63] Extracting user stories from text [64]- [66] Trace links between model/NL requirements Tracking the development status of user stories from software artifacts [67] Identify the type of dependency of user stories [68] Traceability user stories and software artifact [69]…”

“…Ecar et al [63] proposed a functional size measurement method based on user stories and COSMIC methods. Meanwhile, Castillo-Barrera et al [62] used bloom's taxonomy to classify the complexity of user stories.…”

“…Heterogeneity and low amount of data [52] Manual data tagging [47] [59][34] Context/domain dependent Cannot be generally used in all contexts of the problem [33] Not yet able to handle complex systems [40], [48] Understanding the correct interpretation of a sentence Compounds are difficult to identify correctly [60] Verbs may be difficult to link to the proper object [60] Conjunctions are also a challenge [60] The same verb but can be classified in different categories [62] Human intervention Complement rather than replace human decision making [35] Datasets have several challenges, including heterogeneity, low amount of data, and manual tagging of data. The limited number of user story datasets openly available makes it difficult to obtain large amounts of user story data.…”

“…Some challenges involve compounds that are difficult to correctly identify [60], verbs that can be difficult to link up to the appropriate object [60], and conjunctions [60]. The same verb can be classified into different categories [62].…”

Towards a Taxonomy of Agile Methods: The Tree of Agile Elements

“…Furthermore, agile practices differ in context and level of detail. For example, they are described in the context of requirements engineering (e.g., User Stories [10]), estimating project effort (e.g., [11]) or product management (e.g., Definition of Done). Also, the variety of agile practices, artifacts, and roles in practice is reflected in the literature, where a different understanding of agile practices prevails, which is shown by different definitions (e.g., [12], [13]).…”
