Successful Delivery with Scrum
The next aspect of working with people on a development project is the importance of self-organizing teams. One major difference between agile project development and more traditional development systems is how the teams are organized.
In traditional systems, your team will have someone in charge of them who tells them what to do each day and dictates how the team will move through the process. While this may seem like it would help the team move more quickly through the development process, there are many benefits to not having one single person in charge of the whole project. Every member of the team can be actively seeking ways to work towards finishing the feature they’re working on at all times. Everyone has the responsibility and empowerment to make decisions.
They can work through problems and obstacles quickly as a team, rather than having to wait for the decision of a manager. Allowing your team to self-organize ensures that they can work in the way that makes the most sense for them. Setting the expectation early that the team is responsible for themselves and their day to day operations gives your team the freedom they need to create the most value possible.

A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them.
