Storytelling 

 Challenge 

 My job is to write a code that brings the changes into some application / service which a customer wants to see   and paid for . Most of the tasks created on behalf of faceless users that always ask to create something for   them ( a page , a button , an option etc . ) and seeing that requests I just do what I have been asked . Doing work in   such way I do not feel empathy to users , do not ask myself which solution would be better for that specific   user , would be more helpful and bring even more than they were expected . 

 If you think that all programmers feel nothing when they write a code or produce a feature , you are completely   wrong . For me , the code it is like a child born by you ( when you create a project from scratch ) or adopted   ( when you get a project from any other company or team ) . In both those cases you are trying to rise it   beautiful , clever and fast working . You are proud when new features released well and being warmly   welcomed and become disappointed vice versa . 

 Selection & Application 

 Past week I decided try to change what we have and how we work and to speak with our product owner . I   selected storytelling from other tools because it creates a context around the users , allows to understand more   their needs and requirements and makes you to sympathize them . 

 I told a story about a single 33 - year - old woman that has 3 small kids , she is overloaded by her job , problems   and expenses . She is trying to give her kids all the best ( toys , clothes , education ) but doing that she loses the   time that they could spent together . I asked than how our application could help her and received few   solutions and even one feature that the application does not have but we could make it for her . 

 Right after I confessed - the whole story is completely lie and I just wanted to show how different we do if we   want to help somebody … 

 Insight 

 After the conversation with the project owner we started to provide changes into our workflow . We made a   three user profile cards like profiles from some social networks and filled them the data of some of our users   that agreed helping the project . All tasks having their “ real ” users and asking from their perspective to   implement some changes . That allows us to be more flexible and to provide changes that somebody really   needs . 

 Approach 

 Past week I used only one tool and it completely changed my job . I do not know yet how the changes affect the   project ’s life in a long - term perspective but what I do know that it will get “ soul ” and I hope that it will bring us   some fruit . 

 Of course having such great experience I ’m interested in applying some other tools , but now I ’m focusing how   to continue using storytelling in other spheres of my life and to create the stories with real persons and   situation as it was shown in the course videos .
