U to V - user story to visioning

user story

A tool used to write a requirement in the form of who, what and why

validated learning

The idea of learning through the use of experiments carried out in a scientific way: i.e. using a series of carefully designed steps and using measures to prove whether the experiment has been successful or not.

value

The benefits delivered in proportion to the resources put into acquiring them.

velocity

A description of the rate of progress a team is making. For example, if a team is completing 20 user stories per week then this is their velocity and it can be used to empirically forecast their future rate of progress (assuming that the conditions remain the same).

vision

The statement of a desired future state.

visioning

An exercise or phase that aims to understand the overarching goal of something (e.g. a project). It would try to answer questions such as: Why is this work taking place? Who is it for? What might it look like? See also project kick-off.
