It is a very good introduction for the product owner role and user stories. Recommended only if you are new to scrum or agile

[Fred Fanning · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very good book set. The first book outlines the specific role of the product owner and provides tips learned from real world project management experience. The second book teaches you how to develop user stories that ensure you get the product required. I especially like the tips and user information in both books.
