Viva con Agua de St. Pauli e.V. User Stories created by socio-trechnical walkthroughs

In March 2016 six socio-technical walktroughs (STWT, Hermann et al. 2004) have been conducted to identify requirements for the technical tool Pool used by Viva con Agua de St. Pauli e.V. (VCA) as a socio-technical organization (Kunau 2006). Volunteers of the NGO, as well as employees and partners were invited to participate one weekend for one STWT workshop. Every workshop has covered two days (a weekend) and focused one specific business process of VCA. The participants were independently selected for each working procedure that became a topic for a workshop.

During the workshops, the existing business processes have been identified in a first step and during a second one improved. Afterwards, the moderator of the workshops has derived user stories for new technical support functions needed to establish the reworked business processes. These user stories are collected in the user stories catalog that is published in this data publication.
