Abstract

The profitability, reputability, and sustainability of any organization depend intrinsically on customer satisfaction. In the context of an agile project, this paper proposes a set of conceptual models that form an input to a customer-centered, market-oriented, user story engineering process aiming to provide a continual positive customer experience. In doing so, organizational constraints pertaining to economics of the user story engineering process are considered.
