Do you see any value in this tool?

I'm currently in the validation phase of my tool 'Agile Examples'. I've built a simple landing page and MVP alongside it - It'd be great to get a developers perspective on whether it could serve as a useful learning communication tool or not. Thanks!

    In my circles, Agile and Scrum are considered an old hype and outdated already. But I haven't seen any new and better ideas recently. Instead, people tend to revert back to having one dictator (the product owner in agile lingo) and everyone else will just follow that person. So your best bet might be to educate that dictator and/or to provide copy&paste snippets for them to save time.

    I found it valuable for people who are new to agile as they can quickly check what is a "story" on real-world examples. I'm just curious how you want to monetize it.

      Appreciate the feedback, and good question - I'm open to suggestions. I'm thinking of expanding the content and keeping it as a free tool for all. Once I have enough traffic I'd be looking at creating additional learning content which users would have to pay for to access.

      It's early days though - Time will tell whether I get the validation needed to persist with it.

        Ok, I was just interested if you already have any idea in mind. 😁Keeping it as a free tool as for now is a good move though.

    I think so but I'm not completely sure what it is. Would you mind explaining?

      Agile is an approach to software development that captures requirements through User Stories.

      Each user story is expressed in a particular format e.g. "I am a X, I want to do Y, so that Z happens".

      Browsing examples should help people understand how to craft their own.

      Sure - I need to work on the messaging!

      Basically I want to help developers learn how to use Agile Tools (User Stories, Story maps etc.) by providing them with real life, practical examples. There are many theory books on this topic, but they all lack examples.

      The idea is that they can use these examples as a quick reference point in order to make sure that they are on the right track.
