# User Stories

You are now ready to start developing your software system. You should complete the following steps:

## 1. Prioritising the User Stories

You have already been given a feature list. You should imagine this is the result of an initial meeting with the client. Note that there is no particular order to this, its more a "brain dump".

Your first task is to copy this list into a Word Document in Teams and have a team brainstorm to add as many extra tasks to the list, regardless of how strange they are.

Now you should apply the [MoSCoW Method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoSCoW_method) to place these in four categories based on how important your team feel these tasks are.

## 2. Picking a Story

Now look at the tasks in the highest category and pick one to start building. How did your team justify this choice?

## Start Building

Lets not waste any more time! Your team should start building the feature you picked. You will need to demo this in the lecture next week.
