Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am trying to implement Scrum and
have some basic questions. I understand creating stories to
implement end user functionality, but where does a "meta-task"
like collecting requirements for the stories in the first place
come from? Is this even before the story process begins? I guess
I am struggling with the fact that a project starts up at some
point, and then tasks like "get requirements" and "create user
stories" are needed, but those are also part of the project and
need to be captured somewhere. Do they fit into Scrum stories?
Are they part of a sprint? It seems like they should be, but
creating stories for them seems recursive...I hope that makes
sense. Thanks!  share|improve this question This can be related:
