Mentoring user story
During the call on January 28, we agreed that both of us would write our vision of what the
outcome of the mentoring should be and what we are actually preparing for. Please write your
vision in the block below. The other person will write theirs as well, and once both are ready,
you will be able to see each other's visions.
Don't forget that the description should be in the user story format:
"I as a role ;)
I want to…
So that…"
(the "so that" part is mandatory 🙂).
